An incident happened a few hrs ago, i think one of my lp, a female got injured to the head(carapace)
I was filling the water dish when a flashlight moved from the top shelf and dropped from 2-3 F inside the container ,i'm pretty sure it hit her. For the first time in so many years something like this happens to me ... Heres the thing , It moves around without problem , i only noticed an unusual behavior is how say this ...docile , i telling this cause before , every time i open the lid is giving me threat pose or tries to grab things, now im worried , btw About her age is 3 years old , 20 Days hungry and shes is Fat, i think is getting ready for a long molt ...last molt was 105 Days ago, here some pics lp1.jpg lp2.jpg

Hi
you can dust the injury with cornflour (corn starch) to seal it off and then wait for moult.
Occasionally offer food and keep waterdish with fresh water always full.
Not much else you can do.

Hi
thats a good thing then.
All you can do is wait for a moult .
Maybe consider offering prekilled pray too on feeding time.

Hope everything turns out okay!

Be careful with the surroundings when the enclosure is open.

I would just stop feeding that fatty period until its next molt...that thing dont need any more food, that much is fact. If there's no blood, that's a good thing....all you can do is wait and hope things work out.
