I noticed the water sac on a few of my hermies but I have so many now that I can't catch them before they molt. I keep changing her food and waters like I do for the other two tanks but I don't see her making a mess like she used to. I moved her log do a different spot and she crawled into it after I moved it. I think she will be molting soon. It's like she gives up on certain activities because she's too weak. She really needs to start fresh with a nice new exo and get her energy back.

When I moved her log she buried under it and I haven't seen her come out since. I think she's going to molt!

Best wishes for Patchie to have a successful molt and a speedy recovery!!
Hope she begins to grow part of her eye back too!!
