Message: <blockquote data-quote="desert voice" data-source="post: 28265" data-attributes="member: 3066">thanks so much for your reply (it also got lost in my email so sorry for responding so slowly).  actually, it almost looks like she's even growing even though she's suffered a real trauma and hasn't eaten for over 3 weeks since i've had her.  no, her body is completely good and intact, no seeping wounds or anything, just 1 leg and 1 pedipalp is missing.  how often do they molt?  i really have to sit down and do some serious research on her species and t's in general.  does she need the water dish for humidity?  otherwise, she's totally incapable at this point of walking and drinking.  she's totally immobile but has leg movements that are increasing daily.  anyway, i have to get some of the coco fiber and a hide, the water won't hurt either.  glad to hear from  you and get the support.  hope to hear from you again.linda</blockquote>
