Chakotay up after 4 weeks.
Chakotay has surfaced after a 4 week underground period(should be a real moult)...He is in his shell and has just went across the tank to the pools...i had to put him in the salt pool coz he couldn't get up and i put the log back between the water pools for easy access..Though he crawled out of the pool fine without using the log lol...From what i can see i think he has all of his legs..the guarding leg kinda looked like it had an orangey tinge to it but who knows...hopefully he stays healthy and i can get a good look at him in a few days time.

Re: Chakotay up after 4 weeks.
Sounds good, but just remember to keep handling to a minimum for a few weeks after he has moulted - they are pretty sensitive during this time.

Re: Chakotay up after 4 weeks.
Still looks ok today....as soon as i turn on the uvb light he half comes out of his shell with hyperactive antennae lol...I haven't handled him since first puting him in the salt pool..He needs to recover and i understand that...hopefully he continues to go well.
