Having moulted a week ago and fallen out of her hammock losing a leg, she's been out and about in her usual spot on the glass at the side of her terrarium and seems to be moving around without any problems, thank goodness.
So glad she is ok. Trip is an apt name for her atm. Much better outcome than what my Sapphie had when it looked like she had a fall/injury. Still can't work out what happened but Trip is behaving as she should so should be ok. Strangely enough, one of my P. Metallica slings molted recently and is missing the last segment of a rear leg. Does not stop it running around like a spaz tho. Look after yourself Trip and don't make mummy worry about you! ☺
@Phil The hammock she'd made was at quite a steep angle almost like a slide. She flipped over quite near the top but I told her then it was a silly place to moult. The next I knew she seemed to be out of her old exo but very close to the bottom edge. I kept away in case I startled her and caused her to fall and next time I looked she was on the floor in a messy heap with the old exo, she'd fallen at least 4". If she makes a hammock like that next time I'll be putting a piece of foam under her
