hello everyone, unfortunatly I have had to put Riley into an ICU tank as I found her barely moving next to her molt in her hide. I'd got curious because I hadn't seen her for nearly two months so I unpicked the webbing over the enterance and there she was :( . I'll provide another update tomorrow so fingers crossed she'll survive the night

I'd suggest very carfully taking Riley back out and putting it back in its regular enclosure with a water bowl. Arid species like gbbs tend to get worse in an ICU not better.

I'm guessing you don't know when it molted do you? Are the fangs hardened?

Also, pictures help.

hello, I have put Riley back in her tank. She looks a lot brighter than she did earlier and is moving around more. I forgot to put in my original post that when I found her she was tangled up in her own webbing.
I think she might be ok :) but I will keep an eye on her.
also my n.chromatus Roxy and g.pulchra Raven have both had successful molts
