MOLTING!!

[Talmon Glidden]

My G. Pulchripes has been in pre-molt for quite sometime now, and I just checked on her and she's finally molting for the first time since I got her! I would post a pic, but the position her enclosure is in right now won't allow it, and I don't want to risk moving her. But I'll be sure to post one of her in her new outfit when she comes out. Also, she is in her hide right now with not very much room, and I'm worried that she'll get stuck. Should I be?

Dont be worried, if she didn't think she had enough room she would have done it out in the open.

Okay, shes all done and shes flipped back over, I still can't get a good look at her though. The molt was successful!

Hooray! Good for you, and good for your T!

I went to peek on Jewlz today, my GBB, just to see how she's faring a week or so after her molt, and much to my dismay, one of her left legs, second one down actually, is ALMOST NON EXISTENT! The last fourth of it looks like it turned into a piece of hay, like a little twig! The rest of the leg is alright, it's just the last 1/4 of it, the part she uses to walk on, that looks like this. She seems to be getting around alright but I"m not sure what it is or if it will spread. Is it because it is too wet, which would be weird cause it's BONE DRY in there, well, except for the occasional misting and the water dish. Did it dry out during the molt, or under the IR lamp? Do you know what this might be? I've searched the boards using various terminologies and can't find anything. Thanks for all help and advice in advance
