bad molt.

[Mantis Lady]

My female hierodula membranacea female molted when I had na nap. I found her on the bottom of her home.   i think she fell during the drying up fase. She is messed up. Her backlegs are not in their normal shape. she misses 1 leg. I think it broke off when she fell. What can I do for her now to minimize the damage? She is pre sub now.

turn her upside down on her back and allow her to straighten out and see if it helps. 

 

[Mantis Lady]

She was already dried up that way. I have send her to mantis heaven because this is no life for her: not able to walk, climb, hang and hunt.

*sighs* I will miss her.
