Deroplatys trigonodera
She is lucky to be alive
It would be an underestimation to say that she had a bad molt. Both of her back legs were bent backwards, the front one missing completely, and she had no claws on all but one limb.

This brave male Deroplatys Trigonodera is attempting to redefine the life expectancy of his species. He is now close to 7 month old and still holding. We call this a great success, considering that in a wild they live way less.
Funny to watch how his mood changes in a second, when he is unexpectedly disturbed. All of the sudden he is all defensive and stretching his arms upwards, just like he is saying “back off”. I wonder if this pose work in a real jungle environment?
