my 3" c. cyan just finished moulting--and i noticed she was leaking from her chelicerae. so i got out my super glue and did a rather messy patch-up job on her. tomorrow i'm going out and getting some nu-skin.
she's fiesty, and she tried to attack the super glue bottle, so i think she's going to be fine, however, my a. geniculata reacted with the same fervor while he was dying...moults make me more nervous now than they ever did before--mostly because of the moulting loss of my a. genic.
she's upright now with her head in the substrate (sticking to the super glue, i imagine).
for future reference, how does one apply super glue on such a spot? i didn't expect her to attack the tube, but she did which made me realize that i needed to take more care in applying the glue. it was very difficult and a big glob was left on the outer side of her chelicerae. i tried to wipe it off with a pencil eraser (i didn't want to use a cotton swab or a paint brush in fear of fibers or hairs being left behind), but she immediately righted herself and "ran" away.
