missing legs

[Michael Tabor]

My P.Murinus just moulted for the first time and after the moult was missing 2 legs how did this happen ???

We have had legs missing that have got stuck in the old skin, they regenerate after about 2 moults, nothing to worry too much about, as long as it isn't the last moult of a mature male, then they will not regenerate

I've got a p.irminia with only 7 legs, it doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all.

I think Layla had a 1st instar G.aureostriata sling with 3 legs that is still alive.

its only first moult so shouldnt be a prob

[Ian Metcalfe]

Stuck and subsiquently lost legs seems to be quite a common problem. But the solution to it is built into the T and they seem quite adept at using it. Nature is very clever when you think about it . I have sen an auratum shed a leg at each moult. Diferent one each time. Yet it is kept exactly the same as its neigbours who have no problems at all.
