After Molt Question

[Kurt Nelson]

Is she supposed to look like this? I assume it's okay, I wouldn't want to do what I usually do if I just shed all my. Her legs aren't curled underneath her, and I'm pretty sure she just molted today. But it could have been yesterday, her molt felt pretty fresh and not brittle like I thought it would.

Note: I have never seen her in this position before, and this is her first molt with me.

Sincerely,
Concerned Father Figure to a Beautiful T.

It will take a few days for her to regain her normal monility.

Right now her new exo is like rubber.

So she is okay? Not going to die on me? She's usually tucked away in her web of wonders or up high on the glass. I've never seen her on the ground in...4 or 5 months, since I got her.

I cant say she wont die, anything can happen when they molt. But i can say this is normal. They are extremely fragile right after a molt. She will be back to her normal self after a few days.

 

[Kurt Nelson]

Awesome, well lets hope for the best! Even though I hardly ever get to see her, shes still the love of my life! Her legs seem to have grown like a centimeter. She looks bigger. I can honestly say I didn't expect to see such a huge change just from a molt.

yes she is okay basically molting is a taxing thing so she will not being moving around alot for a few days. also she needs to learn to use her new body so she will be doing stretches/yoga. so don't be freak out if you see her in odd position she will be back to normal in a week or two. also do not feed her for about a week or two after molting.

 

[Kurt Nelson]

Yeah, I've done my research. They just didn't have anything on behavior afterwords.

EDIT: Also, thank you for all the info, much appreciated.

That is normal as she is now at her most vulnerable. She will harden the exo after the next few days just make sure there are no feeders crawling around as they can be problematic in the sense of attacking ur T.
