Since you've had him for a year and he is mature, it could also be old age. Especially if he doesn't eat and his abdomen is shrinking profusely,

She began to web the ground and went into molt. The molt was successful, but the next morning she still passed. Unfortunate, but sometimes you do everything correctly and they just die for no reason. Best of luck for your T!

Cheese! Now give me a cricket!

True that. They did get her captive bred because I did ask, since they have the tendency to die and are more susceptible to nematodes. It could have been dehydration, SADS, stress, lack of heat. Needless to say, I'll stick to terrestrials for the time being.

I got her from petco. They had her a couple months before we purchased her. She was in a stressed position and cornered in the top of her tank. Probably to get away from the heat at the bottom but there's a built in light at the top. Regardless I know she's in T heaven eating all the superworms...

Things happen. All you can do is live, learn from the experience and try again in the future. Next time in a more appropriate enclosure, although I'm positive she passed from dehydration. Thanks again, guys

Just did the test on her. White stuff in her mouth. But not nematodes. Stiff as a board in her new exoskeleton. I'll have to wait to bury the poor baby until later today. I feel so bad because I feel like it's my fault. But you can only do so much.

You'd never think losing a T would hurt as bad as it does until you own one...

I wish I could say it was healthy molt. Found her in a whole death curl this morning. Cage smells odd, and sweet. She didn't make it overnight. Must've been dehydrated and the molt just wore her out and she hust couldn't do it. Poor love. That, or she just—well, died. I understand avic avics die...

Update: found her in molt this morning. Half on the glass and half on the substrate, molt was supremely successful. She's now about 2.5 inches and I have confirmed that she is female. She had the strangest pre molt symptoms I've ever experienced owning Ts. We'll see if she remains healthy.

Yeah, it is glass. Its the enclosure I had for my G. Rosea before he died. I do have a hygrometer in there and do keep it at least 70 humidity no less. It is well ventilated, however I don't like the screen ventilation at the top. Her fangs could get stuck easy. There's all too much floor space...

Thank you so much. I've heard of cases where white goop happens and the T has been absolutely fine. I've looked at it and there are no wigglers in there. She's still quite lathargic and putting up an awkward stance, however. I'm thinking this may be an issue with heat and she's curling up to the...

So I got my avic avic about two and a half weeks ago. She's been acting pretty strange these past few days. She sits on the bottom of the substrate and has half of her legs curled under her, half close to her. She crams her self in small corners and stays there, but when I touch her she's 100%...

I recently got my pink toe just about 2.5 weeks ago. She's developing similar behavior and I'm worried. She's not sexually mature, not in premolt, and has been drinking water. But she crams herself in the tightest spot and curls up similar like death curl position on the substrate. I touch her...
