PostSubject: hope this clears up...   Tue Aug 10, 2010 4:57 am

I had this happen a while back....

took about two weeks to clear up, think it was caused by stress when my L144 spent a long time fighting for a shell with another BN..

kinda like spraining it self I guess, though I could be wrong.....

either way hope it clears up for the little BN.......

looks like it got whacked in it cheek... lol...

called call it Tyson I guess lol...

I can't tell which one had the displaced spine this morning. So pleased and thank you for everyone's support and advice. Another lesson learnt.
Also bought Doug's excellent tract. cheers

I had a similiar problem with my male BN a few years back, He got caught overnight in a peice of foam that was a wrapped around some plant roots i had. Had to do some careful cutting and once release it took a day or so for his spines to fully retract. I think as long as no major trauma has taken place then it will be fine. My Male displays his hooks anytime my hand gets near his log or if he is eating and the corys annoy him too much.

All well and normal now. In fact I don't know which of the two girls it was! They were new to me then and I didn't know them as individuals but I do now.
