4 days ago i found that all 4 of my gbb slings had molted. I marked all of them molted on "the tarantula keepers record" software.
Tonight i was rehousing them and found GBB#3 had its legs back sitting upright. It was very strange. Reminded me a bit of satanslittlehelper's M. balfouri. My gut had instantly sank.. Then i noticed it was .25" smaller than my other Ts.
It hadnt molted and the sub was a bit dry
I was sure it had been attempting to molt for at least a day.:? but i couldnt be too sure.
Well i figured id put some drops of water on her mouth. The drops were huge and wouldnt separate due to the miniscus. So i put the poor little thing in icu upside down and gave her a good misting then put her in the back of my mini climate control at 87 deg.
I was sure id be looking at her suffer for days. 3 minutes later she is done molting!!! I am so stoked about this!! I was sure she was a gonner.. I was tempted to give her new house to another T.
I figured a little faith is what brought her through tonight. Ive decided on the name Hope!! I hope anyone that has a molt problem doesnt give up and can hold out to give there T the chance it needs to pull through.
