A few people assured me he wil be okay because it only looked like his carapace part of his molt got caught on top of his abdomen. But I was shocked to find out that a small piece was still covering his spinnerets.I waited a few days for it to dry and hopefully fall off. But by day 4 he wasn't doing very well.....back legs started looking deformed from him trying to desperately get it off....and he had poop oozing out of the sides of the molt. I found him the next afternoon flopped over on his back... Wiggling around to weak to get back up. He died about 5 hours later.... Was the saddest loss.But if its only the carapace part she should be fine....but do a proper inspection on her booklungs and spinnerets! And if the are still covered I'd spring in to action asap.</blockquote>
