[QUOTE="Greg, post: 199541, member: 27757"] My A. geniculata, three years old, had its first molt of the year about a week ago. Since then, it has been resting its body close to the ground, where normally it has had a more crouching (slightly lifted up on its legs) resting position. It's also been inactive, though I haven't fed it yet. Maybe its time for a meal. The molt looks successful, all body parts intact, etc. I know it can still move and react quickly; I bumped it while moving the water trough, and it jumped and reacted with a threat, so the normal feistiness is still there. Anyone else experienced a post-molt change in body position at rest? [/QUOTE]
