Exclamation Worried about Zippo

Hi guys

Our Fire Leg recently moulted about 2/3 days back and it all went fine.
Now he hasnt moved much since and is just cooped up in a corner of the viv, he isnt hidden away or anything, just hiding under a plant.
I removed the water bowl to clean it yesterday and went into a flicking frenzy, is this normal, hes clearly well enough to flick repeatedly (didnt get me tho ha) but is this normal whilst he hardens up?

Thanks
Vicky

Yip, totally normal behaviour for a post moult T. It takes them a while to harden after moulting so they dont move much apart from to change positions a little bit now and again.
The hiding is also normal since they are more fragile after a moult so hide away from anything that could try and bother them.

Congrats on the moult

Ah good just thought i'd check as he is sat legs pulled in towards his body so you can hardly see his body, but he is shifting around and he is especially feisty at the min!
