Message: <blockquote data-quote="Banshee" data-source="post: 139772" data-attributes="member: 28447">okay guys, I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the help. But now I’ve got another problem....I’m worried I messed up and hurt two of her legs. I had her over a small dish and gently pulled her legs out from under her so that she could reach the water. At the time it looked okay and each legs was gently curled still. But I picked her up to try giving her a drop of water directly to her mouth and noticed two of her legs were stretched out and I could see the white bands underneath. I’ve not put her over the dish again and now those legs seems to be bent at an awkward angle. They move when she’s bothered but they can’t seem to curl in. I don’t know what to do about this. She doesn’t seem to be bleeding anywhere but I don’t want to try moving those legs if they are injured. I took a pic when I first settled her over the dish yesterday, her legs look fine to me, and two of her now with her legs bent up...[ATTACH=full]33137[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33138[/ATTACH] In the side view image she was flexing a little bit as I had accidentally bumped the stand her tank is on. I can’t tell you how awful I feel that I’ve done this to her....I feel like I’m making things worse by overthinking everything.</blockquote>
