This process helps T's to conserve energy even though T's are exceptionally energy efficient. My A.Geniculata behaved the same. The humidity and temperature was more than adequate and it was a great eater. All it's legs were curled up underneath her except one. This leg moved once or twice but unfortunately it died. So I would think that its departure was caused by internal damage of some sort...maybe a fall or something. It is sad really. Hope your T pulls through.</p></blockquote><p></p>
