Does the last picture shows leg 3 ripped off and laying on leg 4? Is it possible she was stuck in her molt and when you removed the molt you removed a piece of carapace and abdomen resulting in the wet spot? I think that t is dead and I'm curious what it looks like underneath.

If she looks wet and sticky that points to a wet molt.
I assume you didn't pull the molt off her @Paula Lewis ?

Edit:she doesn't look wet on the pictures.

She doesn't look wet on her underside, it looks like it's coming from her carapace...hopefully the molt wasn't pulled off of her
