When I went to check on the recently metamorphed T. marmoratus juveniles I received from a good friend, there was one that stood out of the crowd because of his funny walk. When I looked at it more carefully, he appeared to have the amazing amount of 7 legs!
I immediatly took some photos and made a short movie of how it moves, of course it is uncertain if he will make it into adulthood, so I have to gather the material now. He can move rather good on a wet environment. It looks like he can use all 4 of his front legs, although this seems to be more of a drag. the extra hind leg seems to be paralyzed, and isn't developed as much as the other hind legs because it isn't used at all.
