I woke up this morning 2 find what appeared like my B.emilia molting. After looking closer I noticed she had already molted inside of her hide. She was covered in soil, but her legs were still moving.
I examined her old skin and there doesn't seem 2 be any problems there (all body parts have shed fine) It was very dried so she hadn't just shed. After watching her little legs wriggling 4 half an hour I decided it was best if I took a closer look at her. I gently removed any soil that was on her and around her 2 check underneath 4 any obvious signs of a problem, but there isn't any. I've moved her in2 a smaller container with higher humidity and tried 2 give her some water (with cotton bud) I've faced her the right way up again in hope she's just 2 tried 2 flip herself over. The fact that she has moved from her hide where she originally molted and now seems 2 be sitting in a death curl postion doesn't look good.
I am lost as 2 what else could be wrong with her or what else I can do 4 my little girl? At this time she is still moving her front legs, all her legs seem fine but r very weak. She put up no resistance when I had 2 handle her 2 turn her over and remove all the soil from her underneath. I have since moved her on2 moist paper towelling with a VERY shallow water dish and she is resting in a dark room.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
