3 Fingered Freak?

The latest addition to my tank only has 3 fingers on both of his (or her... haven't decided yet) hands.

Has anyone come across this before?}}
 
Selena,

Yes this is common.. my female wildtpye only has 2 toes on her rear foot, looks like a claw.. in total she only have one normal foot!

It quie normal for a foot to be bitten off when they are young and over crowded and then re grow.. when the foot re grows is when the toes dont come back right.. but dont worry your new axie will be fine!

Good luck!
 
hi sel

3 is not bad, one of mine has 6 toes, actually makes walking around a bit awkward.

ps i like ht e colour wildtype you have Peter.my larvae seem to be that yellowy brown colour with dark spots on them.cant wait 2 see what shade of wildtype they will be when they are a bit older!
