Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 16889" data-attributes="member: 545">I have never had to deal with any injuries with my tarantulas so I only know what I've read, but apparently Super or Crazy glue is pretty widely used for repairing ruptures. Survival isn't guaranteed, but it can still work. Since the glue is applied to the outside of the tarantula (the exoskeleton), it shouldn't interfere with the new skin underneath. This means that when the tarantula molts, the old skin should be cast off and the glue with it. When she goes into premolt, mist her and her cage once a day...don't soak it, just dampen it. Once she goes into molt, just keep an eye on her. If all goes well the damaged exoskeleton will be completely shed and she'll have a brand new suit. Her leg will also regenerate, it may take more than one molt, though. Good luck to you and your T! Hope this helps.</blockquote>
