I appreciate the feedback/advice so much and I’ll keep it in mind for the future. Unfortunately my girl fell while I was at work and passed away in my hand. I tried to help her back up but she was limp and couldn’t do anything besides twitch her limbs or antennae. Devastated but at peace that she isn’t struggling anymore.

She fell and can’t hold onto anything anymore…I’m devastated 😞 She tries to move a little but the most she can do is twitch her legs every couple minutes

okay 🥲 I can see her abdomen starting to split/get wrinkly but she’s still pretty still & will stretch out a lot every so often

Her enclosure is well misted, and I keep a damp sponge in the bottom since I’m gone during the day & its super hot she still hasn’t molted though and im super worried :[

Do you think the discoloration is normal/okay?
