Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 10740" data-attributes="member: 545">My B. smithi has always been extremely slow-moving and lazy...I can normally touch her and she  barely moves at all. Today, though, when I reached in and lifted up the plant she always hides under, she scrambled a short distance. I touched her legs a few times, and it was the same thing. She moved away from my touch in a hurry.  I haven't done anything differently lately. What might be causing this flighty reaction in a normally calm and relaxed T? Many thanks in advance!</blockquote>
