    Default Back Leg Issues

    I have a Vitt, acquired today. It was shipped overnight, but arrived in 2 days time. Upon arrival it was cold as hell. After 10+ hrs in the Viv, it is still not showing signs of mobility. It has eaten a few FF's, and appears alert. However, the back legs are just unnaturally positioned. I was told that high stress can cause seizures and muscle failure, and that if given ample time to recover, the frog should begin to behave normally. The seller has been great throughout the process, and it was not the fault of him/her... It was UPS' failed overnight(twice in a row) delivery pledge.

    My question is this... Could the high stress have created the need to shed(After I move any of my other amphibians to a new home, it sheds as a way to deal with the move and become accustomed to the new surroundings), and the cold shipping created a problem when "actual" humidity dropped? In the pics(see below) you may see where the new skin has begun and the old skin is failing to shed, or at least it appears...

    Thanks!
