[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 123264, member: 3458"] My 3" S. calceatum moulted at some time in the last 2-3 weeks and emerged from hiding 3 days ago. At first it was just its usual few hairy legs that were visible then it did something quite out of character and clambered up the wood in full view. Last night I found Peanut huddled up next to the water bowl and thought it was dying but this morning it ran up the wood again when I checked on it. Since then Peanut has moved back onto the ground, still hunched up and I noticed a leg sticking up at an unnatural angle. It's looking as though it's had a bad moult but I don't know how to help. Photo taken 3 days ago. Looking back at it now I can see what appears to be a leg that looks different to the others on the right. [ATTACH=full]27082[/ATTACH] This is its current position and the leg is clearly sticking up in an odd fashion. [ATTACH=full]27083[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
