I recently posted about my freshley molted H arizonensis. however, I fear the worst, despite the perfect molt as it is completely still, stretched out. It is not stiff, and there has been no color change at all. However, its been 2-3 days so i dont expect there to be any sort of a miracle. It wiggled its legs during the night after its molt when i blew on it (just once) to check on it. 2 days later, it did not. its been 3 days so far. Why did the krazy 8s guy have to send me a juvie anyway? >.<

The behavior you are referring to is very typical . Some of my desert spp will lay
in awkward positions for days after a molt, and not move unless phisically disturbed. This is all part of the hardening process of the exo.
Also Chris from krazy 8's is a very nice guy and he only sends quality animals.

cheers
