I have had quite a few deaths recently due to old age, but losing Layla hit me hard as it was completely out of the blue. I'd had her 2 years, 3 months and grown her from a sling. So devastated.
Can anyone tell me what they think happened? Is the white stuff around her fangs a wound due to falling when trying to moult?
A few months ago I had rehoused her (see first pic) to give her more space but she never did any new webbing to make a safe place for moulting. Since avics tend to moult high up I was scared she'd fall, so after 6 weeks of no webbing I moved her back to her old enclosure with her old webbing (3rd pic).
I am also gutted as I'd previously lost my other avic and c. versicolor slings Maisy, Ele and Nevele. I've kept them all the same with a dry enclosure and a full water dish with cross-ventilation. I know many avics die due to too much moisture and lack of ventilation, so I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong? If I didn't see them come down to drink I'd occasionally put a few drops of water on the web, but Layla always seemed good at using the water dish. My only remaining T of a similar genus is my Ybyrapora diversipes Luna, who I've had a similar time as I had Layla.
