My Psalmopoeus irminia, Irma, (not ONE WORD about her lame name! ) just lost a WHOLE LEG! Very strange...
I was feeding, and she ran up my arm and glided to the floor. I gently got her cornered, and picked her up. But leg #2 was still laying on the floor, twitching and dancing all by itself! It fell off neatly at the coxae, with not a DROP of hemolymph loss! Irma is just fine, didn't seem to suffer at all!
This is one of the weirdest "T" things that has happened to me, although I have had a T drop an injured palp or leg.
