When I first got mine they molted a couple times a month. Now it's not very often or I just don't see it any more. My CUC eats the molt as fast as it happens.

this thing is confusing me....the clear thing on the rock was gone last night (lights were off, used a flashlight) and now it is back up on the rock not moving. any one thinking hitchhiker?
