Anything I can do? T bleeding from base of leg after molt

[KodiakWavingBear]

My C. darlingi had molted last night. In the morning I took a picture of him, and went out to school. About 12 hours later I come back and I see this whitish liquid at the base of his leg and its kinda scattered throughout the enclosure. I have no idea how this even happened, is there anything I can do for him?

I hope this isn't the end this is the first T that has reached maturity in my care, and it being a male I wanted to send him off to a local breeder.

If the injury is to the leg itself, he will self-amputate and will be just fine with 7 legs.

If it's actually on his body, some carefully applied cornstarch can help to stop the loss of hemolymph -- just don't get it on his book lungs...I haven't had to do this but there are a bunch of posts about it if you search the forum.

Make sure he has fresh water available at all times so he can rehydrate as needed!

I agree with ladyratri, cornstarch apparently works very well for wounds, and keep him hydrated! I really hope your T is okay!

Provide additional water bowl, and droplets of water on webbing

Quick update:
-Additional water bowls added
-Bleeding seems to have stopped
-He’s now hiding in his web tunnel.
Thanks all!
