Should I be worried?

i have a M Robustum about 1 1/2". I just did some maintenance in his/her enclosure and noticed she is dragging her hind legs. I know they have a unique "threat posture" but not sure if I should be worried. Any ideas?

Samantha, is it possible for you to post a picture? It would help us understand exactly what you are talking about. The threat posture of M robustum is rather to lift up the abdomen than to drag the hind legs, but maybe we are talking of the same behaviour?

She ( don't know if it is a she for sure yet) doesn't seem to be too distressed. I'm just over protective maybe? :rolleyes:

It seems healthy to me. It can move the hind legs, right?

Yes. She must have just been mad at me... as she is standing fine now. I recently lost a baby and I guess I am still a bit nervous.
