She managed to molt all of her legs and the bottom part of cephalothorax herself, I succeeded in removing the upper part of cephalothorax but the abdomen is still on her. Today I saw that she removed spinerets and that the rest of the abdominal exoskeleton is slowly separating from the new one. Still, her complete state is worrying me. The back right leg is a bit deformed and she is pretty inactive and I'm not sure what the current position she is in means. I keep humidity level inside her cage pretty high.The picture where shes climbing the wall was taken yesterday. You can see how the leg looks like. The other one is latest photo of her and she is still in that position.Please help me help my beautiful eight-legged friend Askurđela!</blockquote>
