moult issue !!!

[spidey noob]

hi all, one of my n,chromatus sling moulted !!! when i went to remove the moult i noticed that the it was still attached to the Ts abdomen but only on the very top of it !!! (all legs are fully out) looks like its draging another T behind it lol.
its only a 2/3cm sling, what would u all do ???
1, leave it to the T
2, try & remove it

Can you try stroking it off with a damp cotton wool bud?

 

[spidey noob]

thanks for the quick reply enn +1 didnt have cotton wool so had to use a little paint brush, but it worked its off

I had the same with my LP sling the other day. I used my finest tweezers to gently pull it and it came right off. The Pipsqueak even sat still while I did it and then raced around the enclosure as if to say "I'm free!!!".

this one didnt stay still was doing laps constnatly !!! (took me ages to get it off)

LoL, Glad it worked out for you yet to experience that I have only had 1 bad molt in 5 years ( i have approximately 60) and it killed my white knee. (knock on wood). I probably would have misted it then tried brush tactic.

Sorry to here abought your Wight knee !!! Only one bad moult in 5yr is good going, I wet the brush & keept dabing the molt before I tryed to remove it.

@2G33K4U
Are u going to do any more feeding vids ???

 

[2G33K4U]

yes i have S02E01 Completed just have to fix my goofed up youtube/google+ linking then i will upload them. it has 5 parts. they are getting longer as my collection grows. I do not edit them I post them as is if the T eats or doesn't trying to keep it real.

In the past I've just dropped one drop of water on the stuck point (happened w/ a sling), which was the same as yours, the butt. Then, about 5 minutes later, just lightly pulled w/ tweezers and it came right off. One of my biggest fears...losing a T to a bad molt. I would imagine it being such a helpless feeling.
