Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Lilith" data-source="post: 36804" data-attributes="member: 3365">Friend Tom,I went to peek on Jewlz today, just to see how she's faring a week or so after her molt, and much to my dismay, one of her left legs,  second one down actually, is ALMOST NON EXISTENT! The last fourth of it looks like it turned into a piece of hay, like a little twig! The rest of the leg is alright, it's just the last 1/4 of it, the part she uses to walk on, that looks like this. She seems to be getting around alright but I"m not sure what it is or if it will spread. Is it because it is too wet, which would be weird cause it's BONE DRY in there, well, except for the occasional misting and the water dish. Did it dry out during the molt, or under the IR lamp? Do you know what this might be? I've searched the boards using various terminologies and can't find anything. Thanks for your help darlin,Kelly and Jewlz</blockquote>
