My juvie poecilotheria metallica molted 4 days ago, the good news is, it is a female. The bad one is that she looks like this after the molt;
1 missing leg
2 bad legs she cant use
1 missing palp
She molted on the smallest spot possible, humidity was approx 80%, so no problem there and no earlier molt problems, just bad luck i guess. I had to free her from the rest of the molt, wich was from the abdomen and booklungs, it work pretty good. But was not able to do anything about the legs. But she has been stretching alot and done the usual stuff they do after a molt. She seems fine, but now i have to wait and se if she will eat.
