figured out why my GBB has been blah lately...she's molting!
but horribly!!! i've never had to deal with this before, help a guy out!
she was in her molt position for about 24hrs before i decided to pull her out of her home and into a little tupperware container.
her pedipalps and R1 (assuming the counting is front to back) are still in the molt. her R2 leg was, but carefully pulling the molt revealed it was loose and the molt came right off. the leg was kind of mangled and i think will be useless (it looks like she was trying to remove it at the first joint, as it looks like it has been bent back).
anyway. pedipalps and R1 leg still in molt. what do i do??
she is kicking and screaming at me, but i've also noticed thin, white, paper like substance in/around her book lungs. did she not shed that out completely?
