[QUOTE="Boosh96, post: 343643, member: 6645"] Hi everyone, I have 2 P. wahlbergii and one of them appears to be in pretty bad shape. I think it's a female and she molted about 2 weeks ago, no wings yet - I'm not sure if that's relevant information but it can't hurt. As of today she's moving very slowly and seems pretty weak as well - in fact she doesn't appear to be able to hang upside down without falling. She's listless and unresponsive, and she hasn't seemed interested in food for the past few days but I've only noticed the other symptoms today. I've been feeding them each an appropriately sized dubia roach about 3 times a week and giving them a good misting every day or two. Temps are in the high 70's to low 80's for the most part. Their enclosures are pretty basic - just fruit fly cups with a few sticks. I feel like it's worth mentioning that the other one is a recently-molted mature male kept under the exact same conditions, and he's doing just fine. Needless to say, I'm concerned. What do I do?
