Mixed emotions today, sadly my little C.bertae is gone, its been half curled for 24 hours so decided to try to move it and its lifeless. It was a small juvenile and just ate a few days ago so wasn't old or unhealthy. It would climb its enclosure a lot so I suspect a fall is the cause seeing it was perfectly healthy just a few days ago but it happens.

On the bright side my A.seemanni which lost a leg 2 molts ago and regenerated a new leg in her previous molt has molted again. Her new leg was stuby last molt so hoping to see a completely regenerated leg when she finally comes out of her burrow. I can only see through the bottom of the enclosure so can't get a good look but I see a fresh shed and 8 legs so that cheers me up a little bit.

Sorry to hear that bud... How much height could it climb?
Just had him in a little 3"Wx5"H enclosure half filled with substrate so only had abou 2 1/2" to climb but he was only 1 1/2" so not really that high but guess enough to do the job but I've always kept my slings and small juveniles the same way and never a problem before. It could just be bad luck too, we all have that one that goes unexpectedly with no answers.
