Twitching in death curl

[x_raphael_xx]

So I’m assuming this is the end for poor Cuddles, the p.ornata.
Just wondered on possible causes/preventions etc.

So she was fine yesterday, caught & ate a cricket. Today shes twitching at the bottom of her enclosure and all curled up.
There is a water dish in her enclosure, but I’ve dampened the substrate around her incase it’s dehydration, but not holding out much hope.

Hope the vids load, uploading from phone is sometimes iffy

Poor Cuddles. A bit hard to watch. It could be anyone's T.

Well I've come home from work and shes still the same, twitching is getting slower and barely there, so I don't think she'll last the evening.

Oh man. That’s hard to watch. Poor Cuddles. I’m assuming she passed??

I would take her out and put her in an icu and place her in a dark area for a few days to see how she does.

Poor thing. So sorry. I wonder if her cricket had a “bug”? I was warned that sometimes even feeders can carry pathogens.

I don’t think icus are advised. I did dampen the soil under her, but she passed.

Yeah, I didn’t expect her to last the day. She was fully gone the next morning

Thats the only thing I can think of, as she was fine up to then. She grabbed it no problem, next day she was in a curl.

Sometimes we don't get answers. Your T may not have known how much you cared. But you do and we do.
