Is it like a crack or is part of his leg missing? Could you post us a pic? Upload it at the photo gallery under C. compressus and give us the link to the page.

i agree. it'll be easier to "diagnose" if there is a pic to look at.

unfortunately, i dont have digicam

,

im also not a native english speaker, so ill try my best to describe it..

i think its getting worse.. from chipped to becoming a hole..

try imagine an egg shell, where you punch a small hole on it with a pencil lead but u dont break it.. it is like that on my hermies leg, and i think its getting larger. i could even see the muscle beneath the exoskeleton..
