Rodney is a tiny Dolicothele Rufoniger sling I got in January i think. And on his first moult after one week with me it was clear he had 7 legs on the moult and on his body. The shop gave me a partial refund as he wasn’t cheap (an eye watering £60). I have D Diamentis and D Exilis slings as well. I just pulled out his second moult with me and yet again on the moult just a stump where the leg should be. But.. then I saw him come out and he has regrown a leg. I’m kind of fascinated. Will this leg potentially have function? The photo is the moult I just took out and yet he has a spindly little leg where the stump was.
