should I try it?

[popcangenie]

my small lp has molted and the mirror patch it still attached i know this because it is like a little flap and the carapace that poped off is still attached to the left on mirror patch from her old skin ive raised the temps and sprayed her little cup but in the last 2 days it has not come off its not covering her anus but i want it off i thought of a wet q-tip but its the size of my finger nail sould i leave it?

I think you waited WAY to long to do anything really. From what I can see, if you try to pull it off you run a risk of maybe tearing the abdomen now.

This happened to me with my B.boehmei but I acted immediately, used a wet q-tip and peeled the still moist exo off.

Its a judgement call on your part now.

But, if it isn't hurting her, you can leave it, and it will molt again, possibly out of it.

Will leaving it cause problems down the road?

^I tend to agree with this line of thought.

If it were my T, I would leave things be for fear of worsening the situation.
