We have a 19 year old Goliath and she has been in the process of molting for over a week (upside down) and looked as though her abdomen was stuck. We have left her alone until the last 2 days, due to her looking very dehydrated and not alive (we haven't touched her, but we've given her droplets of water, which shes drank. This morning I was going to give her a drop of water (as directed by a few reliable resources) and she was very obviously trying to flip back over, but the exoskeleton was keeping her from doing so. I curled the obstructing part under and she instantly flipped, but the exoskeleton tore and a piece was still attached to her abdomen. She looks exhausted, but alive. Should I give her a break for the day so she can rest and then maybe try to remove the piece from her tomorrow?? Any advice would be much appreciated!! Thanks
