[QUOTE="Lady Lilith, post: 34502, member: 3365"] OMG my LP, Pickles, seems to have a very serious abdominal injury, as it looks like it is separated from his carapace a bit!!!!!!! I went in to clean his tank and when I went to transfer him to his waiting room, so to speak (just a small critter keeper he can stay in till I'm done, I noticed that his abdomen was wiggling around on its own while I was moving him and then it sort of fell away from his carapace, not all the way mind you, but it looks like someone tried to chop him in half at that connection point and stopped 1/3rd to 1/2 way through!!!! I have him in an ICU tank with an IR heat lamp about 6 inches away and have raised the humidity level. What can I do?? Is this a bad molt or is he injured? I'm afraid to do anything lest I make it worse. I don't really see any blood so to speak so don't know if applying superglue will do any good :( I'm going to cry. He is just a juvenile and I have no idea how this could have happened. :( Will post a pic of him in a moment [/QUOTE]
