[QUOTE="<3ley, post: 230351, member: 42246"] Another update. Had few options and ended up calling the local shop I bought all but one of my Ts from (this stirmi is from there) to ask about emergency care and what advice they might have that I might have not seen online. We talked and one of the staff members said it sounded less like a puncture wound and more like a rip from the molt+frequent kicking. Not sure if that’s better or worse. She was extremely, strangely calm for a moment when I lifted up her plant to re-apply the cornstarch but then she re-entered maniac mode quickly so I assume she might have been asleep. Otherwise no notable behavioral changes. I re-applied the cornstarch successfully and haven’t seen any other bits of hemolymph beading up on her abdomen, but with all the cornstarch there I might have missed it. Water dish is full, substrate damp, there are some already killed super worms sitting around for her to grab if she shows interest. Now I guess only time will tell. But because she’s such a menace there is corn starch. EVERYWHERE. I’m going to need to give this enclosure a thorough cleaning because it looks like a powdered donut exploded here. Considering the stirmi hair death trap that’s probably awaiting me, that’s gonna be fun… Holding out for her. She’s my favorite T of my little crew and I don’t know what I would do without my festering cauldron of rage on my dresser. [/QUOTE]
