*striped leg... oops...
Ok, last year she moulted right side up. Lost one pedipalp, and one leg was mangled from being stuck in the old moult. This year, she did it AGAIN!!!... I don't know too many details since I wasn't there until the very end, but she was right-side up, with one leg still stuck in the moult. That leg was white around the base and bleeding... I gently cut away the rest of the moult, but she continued to drag the hurt leg, and it was mostly severed. I cut the leg away at the base (where it was nearly severed anyways) and applied some clear nail polish to the stump. Is there anything else I can do for her? I'd love to save her if I can - she's the first T our family got... Thanks!
I'll stick around to see advice, and update as I know. It is still weeping slightly I think, but quite slowly and I think the nailpolish is working... I WISH I could find my superglue right now... :wall: Oh, she's full grown, around 5.5-6 inches... Not too nice, either.
