[QUOTE="Jes, post: 181973, member: 33420"] Hi guys, when I woke up this morning, I noticed that my LP sling(around 1.5") is missing 1 front leg. I am new to the hobby and I don't know why or how that happened and I cannot find her leg :(.. She is currently in her temporary enclosure(pics below) and I plan to move her to a bigger acrylic enclosure after her next molt. I have read somewhere that the leg will eventually grow back but I want to know what you guys think I should do differently to prevent this from happening again when I move her to her new enclosure. Should I reduce the size of the vent holes(currently 3mm)? Or maybe I should remove the moss? Those are the things I can think of where she could have had her leg stuck. Is it normal for slings to just suddenly lose a leg? Thanks in advance!
