chinese wing messed up during molt

[JSaff86]

my other female chinese just molted last night and one of her wings is bent up pretty bad. I dont know if i should leave it alone or snip it off with scissors. she still moves around fine but it looks like the wing slightly affects her climbing abilities. should i leave it alone or snip the folded wing off with scissors? i hear damaged wings may repel a male from mating is this true? also off topic why did she stay green in color through her final molt wile my other female turned brown in color?

I do not think that effects that much. Maybe if you snip it off she will bleed to death.

she trips over it every now and then its folded up pretty bad. yeah i dont want her to bleed to death.

After her wings dry up they should be alright to cut. Anybody who has done this please say something.

Sorry that this thread is a month old... If you haven't cut the wings yet, you can, as long as you don't cut to the very very very base. I did it with a mismolt twice and it was fine

Yes, that will work. But they have to be dried. He is almost certainly dried out by now.
