[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 160456, member: 29302"] As [USER=3458]@Enn49[/USER] says, all you can do is make sure there are no chemicals near her enclosure, that she has fresh water in a waterbowl nearby. Don't spray the enclosure or add water to the substrate, as it already looks damp. Also are your temperatures good? Is your room around 22-28C? From what you've told us, she seemed fine after moulting and started feeding after 2 weeks but then you noticed her lying on her side motionless, then you saw that one of her legs looked broken/injured. I'm trying to work out whether that happened in the moult or after? Maybe something else went wrong in that moult, or when she sustained the leg injury if it happened later. Her abdomen looks huge for a recently moulted t. Which leg is it and when did you first notice the injury? If it's possible to take a pic of that leg without disturbing her that could be helpful, because I can't tell in any of the pictures which one it is unfortunately. When you do that, without touching her get a good look at her body to see if anything else looks injured or 'not right'. And take a photo of anything you notice. All you can do now is the above and try not to disturb her much (I know that'll be really hard as you are worried!), other than occasional looking in. Low light (preferably darkness), no noise. She needs peace and quiet now. She's probably extremely stressed and quiet time could help aid recovery, if recovery is possible. Sorry that's all I can offer for now. I really hope for you that she pulls through. [/QUOTE]
