Message: <blockquote data-quote="MalePinkToe" data-source="post: 172610" data-attributes="member: 31766"><p>My first T a male Pink Toe (slim) died 5/14. As you observed he was "off" in behavior, it was especially odd when he just fell off the top of his perching stick and had a bad time getting off his back. He managed to climb back up only to the top and fall backwards again. It seemed he could not see, that is, he reached out with claws extended into areas where there was nothing to grasp...and hold that position for hours. Found death curled, right side up, in the bottom of the enclosure the next AM. He stopped eating a week ago. I bought him 2/23/2020 Every day I said to him " You are a big! scary! spider!" he never disagreed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
