I have a clutch of eggs that all hatched successfully but 1 out of the 8 is having trouble hunting. It would chase the cricket down and aim for a shoot and will miss 99% of the time. I have to break the crickets legs off and then it can eat it. When it shoot, it goes higher than normal. At first, I thought it was a sight problem but it see fine since it can see crickets across the tank. This baby does have a deform back because it appears like a bone is sticking out. Anyway, it is getting smaller by the day while the others are growing and shedding already.

It refuse to eat mealworms, only crickets.

I will be back!
