My genic is a “Jupiter”, I know. She got too large of a piece of hornworm 2 months ago and has only had one small cricket since.
She is also fairly molt imminent.
I saw she has poop near her anus, but I’m not sure if it’s a plug or just a dirty bum. She cleans herself fairly often and did her legs a few nights ago and now her butt and spinnerets last night. You can see the poop at times in the video during her cleaning. She is still feisty enough I’m reasonably certain she would attack the Q-tip/paintbrush if I attempted to clean her anus. While I have seen her drink before, I haven’t seen her do that in awhile (doesn’t mean she not for certain..just I haven’t seen it). She does have springtails in her water which may be annoying her? I’m really hoping that molt will happen soon, but am looking for advice for what to do in the meantime.
