You could sprinkle some corn starch on it but seeing as it's on a palp the T can cut off the circulation and pop the palp off, which will come back the next molt.
Whatever you feel is best, if it continues bleeding and she doesn't cast it off then you might want to put something on it. But you're the one who has to get her to hold still long enough to put the starch on and she probably won't be happy about it, so it's your decision
The bleeding has decreased. Its no more bubble, just a little wet spot. Ill check again later. How long do you guys recommend to let the wound bleed before taking action with cornstach/Maizena?
I'd wait a day but keep a close eye on her, though she will probably be fine and might just take off the palp.
Maybe, but if not she will grow a new one if she casts off her palp. A lost palp is not very detrimental, I've had a 5 legged sling before and it was very capable of trying to bite me just like it was when it had all of its limbs. If she throws it off, the palp will probably be smaller that the other after she re-grows it but it will be normal again when she molts again.
That's what it looks like to me honestly. Any sort of worm feeder tend to squirt all over when they are punctured. Don't get me started on wax worms. They explode. lolI'm guessing that's superworm-fluid
+8 to all who say bug bits. I had a chameleon a few years back, and I loved giving her hornworms. Especially after feeding them small pieces of different coloured vegetables.
It was like a Gallagher Splash Zone to be standing too close at feedings.
