I searched your post history when I saw your ad. It is a female, and not mature yet. She doesn't even have her adult coloring - note the gold carapace. If I had to guess, I would say she deformed her legs in her last molt and is uncomfortable. You say it has developed since the molt, so I really don't know. If she's molted 4 times since you got her, she definitely needs a bigger enclosure now. I realize that now you're selling her, but I want to assure you that she is female (I bought her as female, and confirmed it with a molt before selling) and also that she is not yet mature. She does look pretty leggy but I think that's a function of her being underweight. If she'll eat, let her gobble as much as she wants for a little while.</p></blockquote><p></p>
