I just looked in my P. striata enclosure and I noticed that an isopod had rolled up on the bottom of its foot. How can I get it off and tbh idk if it's still alive. Worst case senario will the T just drop its leg?

btw on another topic my LP sling molted today and it looks smaller then it was before is this possible or will it fill out in the next few hours or days?

It will come off at some point. I wouldn't worry about it and I doubt the T would drop the leg because of that. If anything, it will just remove it the next time it grooms.

somtimes they get some straglers/cling-ons due to tarsal claw action, or maybe because t's = sticky feet!....lol :o_O:

...but no worries, it will get hung up on something else, and come of, or like Chris says, it will find it during grooming....until then it posses no threat.
