Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enn49" data-source="post: 235683" data-attributes="member: 3458">I have a juvi OBT (around 2" dls) that is driving me to distraction.I'll give the time line of what has been going on.6th Feb - fed and ate 2 crickets.8th Feb - rehoused it from a 4" glass cube into an 8x8x12" glass arboreal tank. It slid out of the catch cup (only about half an inch) landing on its back. I left it thinking it would right  itself but when that didn't happen I thought it must be about to moult and I'd disturbed it so I left it alone.10th Feb -  decided to right it and all seemed well.11th Feb -  back on its back so I flipped it back over and later found it having a drink.12th Feb - seen trying to climb the glass but not able to.14th Feb - on its back again15th Feb - still on its back so I flipped it over again.17th Feb - on its back again so flipped it back18th Feb - on its back yet again19th Feb - flipped it back over and shortly after found it attempting to get under the wood. Good sign I thought.20th Feb - it is now on its back in the front corner of the containerI can't decide if it's trying to moult or if its trying to climb the glass and falling off as it's in premoult.What would you good people do?</blockquote>
