Hi, I'm new and mostly a lurker on here, great site to improve your knowledge on.
Got a potential problem with my 2 and a half year old Chile Rose. It's been doing some very strange things lately and I cant find any refferences anywhere online to what it's doing.
It started 2 weeks ago with it going ballistic and looking like it was trying to climb the side of the habitat, but it never gripped only frantically scraping it's feet on the plastic habitat. It never had trouble climbing the wall before when it wanted to, so I assume it was doing something else.
This week it has started stumbling round the tank at times, then it does a weird backwards forward step motion always keeping one leg on each side off the floor, whislt keeping it's knees as close together as possile over it's carapace and abdomen. I've tried cooling and heating the tank, addin extra moisture to the soil incase it's a shedding thing?
Anyone out there familiar with this kinda behaviour?
Cos I'm at a complete loss....
Cheers in advance if anyone has any suggestions.
