Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zeirath" data-source="post: 54460" data-attributes="member: 4131">So this is my larger T that was stuck in transit for like 10 days, now this is how she is all the time, she started a little bit of a burrow towards the other end of the cage and has been webbing up a little bit, I've got her in a cupboard in the dark since it's obvious she isn't settled in at all. Unlike my Phlogius who has built a burrow, webbed up her entire enclosure and seems settled in already.Now I have no idea what a dehydrated T looks like, but I decided to grab some of the moss my Phlogius was shipped with, dampen it and put it in the enclosure with her, she does have a water bowl though so shouldn't be dehydrated I wouldn't think. The next morning(today) I found her like this curled up on top of the moss.I do have one question, other than any ideas why she's so sluggish/uninterested in being alive it seems. on the underside of her legs, the joins seem a little bit split? the photo is kinda blurry so probably can't make it out. Is this normal or a sign of pre-molt which would explain her grogginess I suppose. This is my first time dealing with a larger T so I am completely lost.[ATTACH=full]11789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]11790[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
