[QUOTE="Ibnhamar, post: 225620, member: 39497"] Hey all! Still relatively new to hobby, and my Xenesthis sp. Bright just molted to the largest size I've raised a T up to thus far - I'm horrible at guesstimating inches, but probably at least 5.5 DLS or more. Anywho, it's emerged from it's den after about a week or so, and I noticed a sort of indent/dip that's "pushed in" on it's carapace. It seems to be fine, but I don't know whether this is natural/normal to T's, or just a bit of sustained molt damage or something. Even if it is, it may very well be harmless, it seems to be behaving normally. Just wanted to know if any other hobbyists are used to this happening on occasion, or if it's normal physiologically. Was a bit hard to capture in a picture like I can see the extent of it in person (per usual), but: [/QUOTE]
