[rosehaired1979]

We have 2 rags in the tank and a towel covering the tank.

To answer Vys Question her molt is stuck on her 2 leg joints

 

[MrT]

Where is she bleeding?

 

[rosehaired1979]

We think one of her leg didn't come out of the molt so thats where she is bleeding and thats her prob

 

[MrT]

If you have a T Keepers Guide, it tells you how to safely remove a stuck leg, or legs.
The T may do it by itself.

How bad is the bleeding?

I'm not sure I understand about where the bleeding is, but if it's on a leg joint other than where the leg meets the body you can put a drop of superglue on the wound, or liquid bandage, but I don't recommend it if the bleeding is coming from where the molt is actually hung up or if this is a sling we're talking about.

How big is the T?

Is only one leg stuck?

If it only has one leg stuck and you've tried to soften the cuticle and you can't remove it yourself by gently pulling it away, and the bleeding won't stop, then I personaly would go ahead and use some tweezers to pinch the leg close to the body to induce autotomy or what ever they call it when the T drops a leg.


Don't panic though... If the T can walk that means it still has sufficient bloodpresure and is not "critical" yet, and if you get the leg to drop at the carapice it should naturally stop the bleeding on it's own at that joint. It's designed for that. Again, liquid bandage or superglue would assist if the T is critical by the time you take the leg off.
