Hello everyone! Solace, our B. smithi just molted the last week of May and we had been leaving her alone to stretch and what-not. She appeared completely normal and the molt seemed to have gone fine. However, we noticed yesterday that she was sitting on the edge of her enclosure, with her abdomen off the ground. When we pulled her off the shelf and examined her closer, we are able to see a lesion? on her abdomen and the entire bottom of her abdomen looks fleshy pink in color and raw. She does not appear to be bleeding and other than sitting at an awkward angle, she acts fine. We are guessing it will have to be something she will molt out of, but would like some opinions.
i managed to get some okay pictures of her, but we do not have the best quality camera for shooting macro and i was having problems with the camera reflecting on the plexi-glass.
here are some side shots of the lesion
here are some ventral shots
Please don't mind my frizzy hair, i was camping last night!
here is one of her molt
and here is what she looked like before the molt
So what do you guys think? Should we be worried, or are we correct in assuming she will have to molt out of it? Thank you in advance for all opinions and advice!
