I have noticed, over my years of keeping snakes and tarantulas, that molting usually takes place during a specific time in the moon cycle (all my Bull Snakes shed four days after a full moon, etc.). Has anyone noticed a pattern as to when Stomatapods molt?
As far as colour changes go, I had talked to a guy years ago, about colour changes in some of the Stick Bugs. He had told me that he could help bring out certain colour by keeping the insects in cages wrapped in various colours of cellophane. I must admit that I never saw any proof, and I don't believe any published papers have proven if that is possible. I was wondering if anyone (Dr. Roy?) has tried to "customize" the colour of their Mantis Shrimp?
