My G pulchra has been on its back the last 3-4 days. Prior to this occurrence I've seen her on her back before this about a week prior. She's still alive and will move around on her back if I touch her leg or she gets disturbed by the light.
Of the 15 T's I have she's the only one I see do this. Usually when a T is in molt they are on the back for overnight at most. She's only about an inch or so dls.
My concern is she is trapped in her previous exo-skeleton and can't molt due to lack of humidity. I tried spraying her enclosure to keep the sub damp. Her neighbor, an A geniculata that recently molted beside her died about 2-3 days post molt (it looked totally fine post-molt, had full water dish).
Should i euthanize my G pulchra so it doesn't suffer trapped til I expect it would starve or dehydrate? If so, how best to do it?
