I'm so sorry to hear this Sounds like she had a bad molt, this could occur from a previous bad molt as the T removes the appendages that were not properly formed in previous molt. Just keep a close eye on her, keep trying to feed her at least once a week, make sure she has plenty of ambient humidity by keeping water dish full as well as misting lightly on one side of the enclosure. As long as she has her fangs and has eaten, the blood should clot if there was any bleeding. Worse case scenario, if you do see any signs of hemolymph, then you can mix corn starch with water and patch up the wounds with that solution. Other than that she should be fine. I pray she makes it through.

[QUOTE="SikmT7, post: 204039, member: 10145"] I'm so sorry to hear this :(Sounds like she had a bad molt, this could occur from a previous bad molt as the T removes the appendages that were not properly formed in previous molt. Just keep a close eye on her, keep trying to feed her at least once a week, make sure she has plenty of ambient humidity by keeping water dish full as well as misting lightly on one side of the enclosure. As long as she has her fangs and has eaten, the blood should clot if there was any bleeding. Worse case scenario, if you do see any signs of [B]hemolymph, then you can mix corn starch with water and patch up the wounds with that solution. Other than that she should be fine. I pray she makes it through. [/B] [/QUOTE]
