Hello,
my smithi has had a huge belly for months, and black for a week. i went away on vacation for 3 days coming back to it in the middle of the tank. At first i was very happy to see her out and about but then i noticed that all but her four six limbs (2 middle ones slightly thinner, 2 normal front ones, and the 2 limbs next to the fangs) are deformed/damaged. Most of them are short stubs, middle ones slightly longer, but all are damaged/deformed. It is a small T, post molt she is about 2.5-3 inches, and still fairly young. She has problems ambulating but still can even if not well at all. What's next? What are her chances? I read somewhere that lost limbs regenerate but deformed ones get worse...
Thank you
