[QUOTE="Steve123, post: 67387, member: 3244"] Saw that video of your T walking boo. I don't know why she is walking that way. It doesn't look quite normal, but not terribly abnormal. At least it doesn't look like what other's have posted as "DKS." I keep thinking there are not many ways a T can show something is wrong with it. Besides things that can be caught in a photo (lesions, masses, worms, e.g.), it either doesn't move, or it moves abnormally (slow, fast, chaotic); it may not eat (which isn't always abnormal). I've never given a premolt T an good walk test like that. If she is indeed in premolt, it will be interesting to see how she walks after she molts and hardens up. Be interesting too to hear what others think. [/QUOTE]
