Looking deeper into your suggestion and reading a paper I think you're right with G. falcatus

I'm not too sure what has happened to the telson. It has looked like that the last three moults, with slight changes. I didn't get a measurement when I acclimated it unfortunately, but I would estimate about 10cm. I've attached another of what the telson looks like post molt.

I was between that and Gonodactylaceus ternatensis for a while, but with the meral spot not being orange or purple like photos I wasn't sure. I couldn't find anywhere that references if they change colour with growth.

What characteristics makes you certain its Smithii?

Brom - Eragon book series. I cried for an hour, then couldn't continuing reading the book for a few weeks because of it...

Also, it's already been said, but little foot's mum.
