[QUOTE="NorseDad, post: 183446, member: 30858"] My 3.5” female A. seemanni molted a few days ago. After 3 days, her molt was still attached to one leg around the last joint of the foot. Worried it would cause more problems, I took some surgical scissors and started to gently and slowly cut the molt off. I almost had it completely off when she suddenly bolted. Just a slight amount of resistance, and she popped the leg. Now I feel like I messed up. I’ve never had a T with a stuck shed like that. I don’t think she’d have been able to get the molt the rest of the way off without intervention, but she lost the whole leg... [/QUOTE]
