Doing my nightly rounds and noticed my auratum sling had freshly moulted (yet another moult I just missed happening, grrr)[ATTACH=full]41929[/ATTACH]The water bowl was pretty empty looking and I was worried the sling would need to drink (I should have realised it had already had a good drink hence the empty bowl, as I filled it yesterday, but I wasn't sure if the bowl had just leaked) I thought I had to risk refilling now and tried to be as careful as possible. What an idiot! The minute I cranked open the lid, it shot straight up the side and now I've got this dodgy situation.[ATTACH=full]41930[/ATTACH]Kicking myself for not waiting until it had moved away from the water dish. I've turned off the light and noones going in the room for a couple hours until it comes down. If anyone is concerned it might have legs trapped under the lid, it hasn't. That would have been my concern too, but I made sure that didn't happen. Let's just pray it gets down safely because I feel really bad about this. I should have realised it would have hyper sensitive senses after moulting. I think I just got accustomed to dealing with it in it's sluggish premoult condition.</blockquote>
