Late last night I found my H. pulchripes (1") had molted and wound up on her back floating in her bottle cap that was full of water. Looks like she molted on her web and when shimmying out of her skin she fell into the cap. She had water all around her but I could see her legs twitching and moving some.
I slowly tilted the enclosure trying to get some of the water to drain from the cap. She slide out of the cap but was positioned bottom down. I left her like that and this morning she was in her hide.
Now she is out of her hide and sitting in the middle of her web in a very tight stress curl but is alive. I was worried that leaving her in the water would stop her from hardening or she would not be able to get out and die.
Has any one else experienced something similar?
