Ivy, my female curly hair has finally settled in to her new terrarium.
However, the bad news: she has some sort of lump on her abdomen. I've heard these stories go both ways. I've seen recovery and seen death. The lump isn't very big, but it's noticeable. It's more noticeable from a straight top view in person, but I did my best with pics. Now, I'm hoping someone will be able to tell what this is. Is it a result of her small abdomen, or is it a serious concern? Right now she's acting totally normal and being active like ususal. She is going after a cricket that escaped into her peat moss. As far as I know she has no injuries, she hasn't fallen since I got her. Otherwise she seems fine. She's had this sincethe first night but it seems bigger (maybe I'm mistaken though).
Any ideas? She just started to warm up to me and be friendly like she is was with the people at the store. Like I said, the lump isn't very big and it isn't near a booklung. I'm going to post this elsewhere too because this is the first concern that's come up that's severly worried me.
