[QUOTE="Loafman, post: 111064, member: 18247"] I have had 9 T's now for nearly 2 years. One of them, acquired as a tiny sling at the BTS show in Coventry in May 2015 for £2, was a P.Cambridgei, which I called Crais. He was fine the other day, wondering around his enclosure. He had grown so fast since I got him, well, compared to all my other T's, including my other P.Cambridgei, called Chiana, which is still tiny (about 2 inches) and I got her in Feb 2015! Crais had grown to around 5 inches in leg span, and was very attractive to look at, with orange stripes on his feet and a iridescent green carapace. I just had a look for him as I hadn't seen him for a few days, which is unusual as he was very active, and I couldn't see him. I could see something hidden down the back corner of his enclosure, so I opened the enclosure and had a look and he had moulted. He had successfully finished the moult, but was curled up under the moult, and looked very shrivelled. I guess he had exhausted himself and didn't have enough left in the tank to get to his water bowl. I'm absolutely gutted as I have never lost a T before.. On the off chance I have sat him at his water bowl, but there is no sign of life at all, I guess I'm just clutching at straws. Sleep tight Crais. :( [/QUOTE]
