This morning I woke up and found my B. Vagans upside down so I got very very excited and pretty nervous heh...
Anyways, this is my first molt and being so I have no idea what to expect. I thought she had "popped" her carapace but hasnt done that yet... shes just lying on her back, Its been id say around 20-30 mins since I last saw her and she hasnt flinched. Its possible that since I put a light to see her since shes burrowed in her hide that she stops moving when she feels the light.
How long does the process take?
Im really worried... I got her id say around 1 month or 2 ago and as soon as I got her in her new enclosure she went in her hide blockaded it, dug a hole and barely moved from there. She always had water, the substrate was bone dry. Temps went from 70 to 80 but stayed mostly at 75 and humidity was between 50%-60% Im starting to think that this couldve been the problem.
If the humidity for her is too low then what should I do?
I also keep 2 Lasiodora Parahybanas and theyre around the same humidity and temps. I was thinking to put the humidity up I could use a damp paper towel and just stick it to the side of the enclosure?
They all have bottle caps for water.
:8o :8o I hope shes fine!
