Back leg injury?

[SapphireTigress]

Haven't had this girl for long but was taking photos and realized she may have a leg injury!

I know she'll molt it out but any thoughts are useful i crush the heads of the supers so I'm not sure how she got it.

First pic is closeup. Second I'll admit is just because she's so gorgeous ^_^.

Leg injuries are inconsequential....like you or me getting a bad haircut.

Post pics of the enclosure....lots of people put this species into arboreal enclosures, [incorrectlly] believing them to be semi-arboreal.

Thanks for the quick response ^_^. Her enclosure is a big critter keeper for the moment. I was getting an aboreal setup ready so I'm glad i didn't!

I would probably add some more dirt so that she can’t fall too far if she climbs to the top.

That is enough substrate, but she needs clutter to anchor webbing to. Sticks, fake plants, etc.

I agree with @Teal I wouldn't bother with more substrate. Fill the space with a bunch of fake foliage and you will have a Happy T with some really cool web tunnels.

Looks ok...literally the only thing I could speculate would be a fall onto the edge of the water dish....There's just nothing else I can see.

Thanks everyone! We were doing an experiment between a few of us with gbb to see if they web with or without anchor points but i will add some now

My false widow is a great little webber and she doesnt care that her anchors are old fish plants Haha

Ive got a 3d mario castle hide I'll put in there. That will look cool!

Its so nice to have ts and be back on the forum

My male g pulchripes hooked out and left for breeding last year. He wasn't successful but i got 3 g pulchripes slings anyways!

They just web thick, carpets, but they still web a lot.

My GBB enclosure doesn't have a ton of space to the lid, so if I gave her anchor points, she'd just web the lid down every day.

leg = hurt
T = no more leg
therefore no more hurt.

it will probably drop it if it needs to then grow another one. like spider man

 

[SapphireTigress]

I didn't even know they dropped legs until yesterday when i was researching this!

This explains so many 6 legged spiders i find in my yard!

Lol that's how my friends gbb webbed: thick and to the lid ^_^

Thanks for the input, we've definitely been conparing.
