Local pet shop has a T. Blondi, he/she is roughly 6.5-7 inches, and is recovering from a bad molt... the person who purchased it, returned it after if molted... they have it in the back letting it recover, I got to go back and check it out, beautiful T, recovering nicely, the guy they have working there has been reading up on Ts and has it surprisingly well cared for.

Blondi, imo are the toughest T to keep alive. What happened in the moult? was it a wet moult , or did it lose legs?

Basically, It's internal bleeding in pre-moult.After moulting they lose large quantities of fluids, and control of their body. A T can become Deformed from it, and typically they die.
There are theories that regular feeding of Verts may add to the risk of one.
