My son's beautiful G. rosea, Mouse, died this morning. Mouse had been with us for 14 months and was bought as an unsexed sub adult. He turned out to be a male and as he hadn't moulted in the time he was here, I'm guessing he was in fact an adult. He's been a great character, good feeder and always active, boxing the water as we topped up his bowl. Last week he stopped feeding, then stayed in his water bowl for a few days so we moved him to an ICU. At times he'd look ok but then he'd curl up again until today when he passed away.

He'll be sorely missed both by my son and me - a great personality gone too soon.

Mouse in happy times

Sorry to hear that. He was a beauty. At least he found a happy retirement home with you.
