Hi all,
I hope I'm posting this in the correct area and following the rules of the forum.
I've been a ghost member for a while now, and haven't had to post anything until now. I've tried my best to find a thread already on here that seems to be pertaining to my specific problem, but no luck.
I've had my little B. smithi for a while (I've attached a few pictures, apologies for the quality). "She" has been molting regularly and has never had any issues. It's been a while since her last molt, especially considering her size. She hasn't been eating, and I've tried pre-killed crickets as well. I'm afraid it's not just due to her being in premolt, as her abdomen wouldn't indicate so (it really looks a lot bigger in the pictures).
My main concern is that her back legs seem to just drag along as she moves, and they won't bend at all. One of her left legs seems abnormal. Her two front legs won't really bend at all either, and she's been holding them up off the ground most of the time (defensive pose, but maybe she cant bend them either, like her back legs?) ... I tried to get a decent angle in the picture to show this, and if it'd be helpful, I can take more. I just don't want to stress her out.
Has anyone experienced this with their Ts? ANY input at all would be very much appreciated. If there's anything I can do to help her, I want to do it.
Thanks in advance!
