Thanks Andrea. Luckily the plant thingy is bendable so I can just bend the leaves a bit and get it closer to the cork bark.

Here is the new enclosure setup! She seems to be doing well despite losing 4 limbs. I am hopeful she will make a full recovery. Thanks for all of the tips from everyone as well.

The new enclosure is a custom made one about 8x8x14 inches. I will post some pics as soon as I get it fully outfitted on the interior. As mentioned before, I was gonna wait until she molted to rehouse her, but since all of this happened, I put her into the new enclosure right away as I feared...

This to me is actually a possible explanation that might make some sense. There was no doubt that this was to be her last molt then I was about to move her out... she webbed a lot more than these pics show but they were the most recent I had. The webbing consisted of tunnels and it appeared she...

It's just the perspective of the shot since she is so close to the camera. She is about 3 inches and the enclosure is 8 inches high. This was the last molt for this enclosure, I was just waiting for her to molt before moving her up to the next size up.

@AphonopelmaTX Sorry I missed this part of your message. These pics were taken on June 30th and are the best shots of the enclosure I have. She would build web along the top of it but when I would water it I had to remove the top bit of webbing.

Didnt even think of that, great suggestion. I do actually still have them all and just gave them a look over. As far as I can see they look like perfectly healthy limbs, all severed at the same point and the end point where they were attached to the carapace is sealed off.

I think the term "pretty wet" was inexact but basically every 3 to 4 days I'd give about 5 sprays into the enclosure and always keep the water dish full. There was never any condensation on sides of the enclosure or standing water but I think I will make those waterings less frequent now...

Sasker - No screen lid or anything she is likely to be caught on. The enclosure is plastic and I drilled holes for ventilation. I can also say that this wasnt the cause of a drop or anything. I was away for 3 days this weekend and when I came back she had lost the first leg. No one was in...

Yup could be. She had already lost one over the weekend. I was out of town for two days and when I came back one was on her web. Maybe the other ones were going to be automized as well or ya, maybe she freaked cuz she was premolt and they were left as a defense mechanism. For now she seems...

Thank you FrDoc. I got on here as soon as I could to ask for advice so appreciate your help. I will keep you updated on if she is able to pull through on this one.

Yes, that's her enclosure. I cleaned it out as I was thinking maybe there was something in there causing harm. I didnt see any mold or mites, but just thought I'd be safe. It was when I attempted to move her out to do the cleaning that all the terrible things happened. I still went through...

Thanks for the response. So she hadn't actually molted yet, I just thought she was about to soon. When i went to move her with the brush so I could clean out her enclosure, as I was concerned maybe there was something in there causing a problem, her legs would barely move. It was almost like...

I don't even know where to start this one, as the most traumatic thing happened to my Versi today. She lost 4 legs today... I have had her about a year, and she's in the 3 inch size range. Has been perfectly healthy up till a few weeks ago when her colors started to dim a bit, but I thought...

I've had my Versi now for about 6 months so it's still a sling but this is the first time I've witnessed this behavior and wondering if anyone else has seen this or has an explanation for it. My Versi is going down to the ground and grabbing the substrate, which is pure coco fiber, and then...
