I hate the background, but I don't have better shots;)

lovely arched shape, great colours too... i got one of these today, but unfortunately he is very disabled... only 4 legs :(

Thanks.
If Your specimen survives the next moulting, it is highly probable that it will live. Attach some kind of net or wiree netting to the terrarium ceiling for the moulting so that it doesn't fall. As You probably know, the legs can be regenerated in 2-3 moultings.

thankyou very much for the advice! i'm a bit concerned about mine at the moment, it doesn't seem very hungry for bramble, but it's pretty active despite the "injury". yes, i've heard that legs can be re-grown in the moulting process, and my insect is very tiny, so hopefully he's still at that stage. we shall see...
