[QUOTE="Eighth Eye Blind, post: 239341, member: 49683"] Looking for some quick advice... My young adult [I]B. smithi[/I], Juliet, went into molt today but she's not doing well. She spun a nice little pad and tried to flip over but didn't quite make it onto her back. She's in this weird position with half of her legs stuck underneath her and seems to be stalled trying to emerge. I've never seen one do this before so I'm a little weirded by it. I suspect that she's fine and is just messing with my head. She hates me for some reason - always kicking hairs - so trying to freak me out would be par for the course with her. It's early so I haven't messed with her at all (and I'm probably not going to - letting nature take its course blah, blah, blah). Just wondering if anybody else has had one do this and what the outcome was. Thanks. [ATTACH type="full" width="645px"]76386[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
