Yea, thanks guys that is what i thought!! :( :(
The idea behind the ICU enclosure was purely for comfort not for recovery as I have heard of this but never seen it happen until now.

I can't kill the little guy, I don't have the hart or guts but seeing it suffer is just as horrible!!

So then they handcuffed me and said: " Anything you say can and will be held against you"

Could be from not enough hydration before a moult.
Are you keeping your spiders on peat or vermiculite?
I noticed in your GBB pic in another thread that you have it on wood chips which is not recommended by the way.

If it was a moisture problem it would have gotten stuck in the moult or lost a limb, but this little guy got out just fine, just totally crippled.
What you think?

"Internal hydration" is more important than misting, so I always make sure that they get water when they are nearing a moult and make sure my feeders are well hydrated (When I remember to feed them :) ). It wasn't an attack, just a question. :happy:
I would suggest that you rehouse the GBB and remove the wood chips. :)

Edit: After editing your post, mine doesn't make much sense, but anyway, you get the point. :)
