Well sadly one of my T's died :(

What "interests" me though is that it looks like it dyed from dehydration though it was walking around, eating fine and had plenty of water and misting. Also I checked on it two days before it died and it was fine then.

What makes you think it's dehydration? If it had prey and water I mean?

Wrinkled abdomen? Id check around the mouth then, if it had prey and water it shouldn't dehydrate..what species and size? Old age possibly?

Brazilian white knee. All I can think of is that it got an injury while climbing and in the two days I didn't look it bled out.
