Well, my wee GBB molted today, and when I was looking at her to see of she was finished I saw one of her legs hanging of her, and some bleeding.. So I pinched around the base of the leg, and let her walk it off, because she was dragging it around.. the leg was already half off, so there wasn't much else I could do for her.. I then stopped the bleeding with some cornstarch, and she skuttled over to her waterdish.. So she's probably gonna be OK, but this was my first "dramatic" molt, so I wanted some reassurance..
She was kept in a large enough enclosure, and as I do with all my T's, when I saw her molting, I dropped a couple drops of water onto her web(not where she was lying, but on the very edge of her web) because I've seen many of my babies running to get a drink from there after a molt. Anyways, I don't know what could have gone wrong, but as I said, I've never had anything but smooth molts before, so it was a new experience for me.
I'm a flustered mommy right now, but I really think she'll be allright. Will make sure to keep her waterdish full, and take it from there.
