[QUOTE="kynsylph, post: 340814, member: 12106"] I had a similar issue with a tenodera sinesis (the one in my profile picture actually!). He was maybe born without a forearm or lost it very very early because he didn't have one at L2. It took him until his sub-adult moult, so L8 in his case, in order for it to grow back to a functional size. As an adult, one arm is slightly shorter than the other but that's it. From L2-L5 or so it didn't look like any growth was happening at all, and then all of a sudden the little nub that was left after the joint started getting longer and longer with each moult. He didn't seem to have any problems hunting with one arm, and would sometimes just pin prey to the floor/wall/ceiling of the cup in order to get a good grip. I don't know how different orchids are, but I'm sure Acro is right and he'll have a happy and healthy life with just one arm! [/QUOTE]
