Hey guys, my N. Chromatus had a bad moult last night. It's leg appeared to be stuck for a little while and he was bending it backwards to get it out of his exoskeleton. Checked in on it today and his back left leg (as we are looking at it) is bending upwards a little.

Don't worry, it will possibly cast that leg but it will grow back in a moult or two.

It does not sound as drastic as some bad moults, but i have never experienced it. Has it already "hardened" or could the T fix it by stretching it out?
