No.. I was gonna feed her and my G. pulchripes tonight when i got off work.. give them 4 days to harden up.. I mean, she could have eaten this morning if she wanted to... She was ready...
I turned up the heat on her, at about 85 right now, put her in an icu... guess we'll see :(... this sucks.

Thanks, what really sucks... I just got a new job, and no personal days.. So I can't call off to keep an eye on her... Put her in an ICU to see if that helps... I honestly think she is gone tho... Never had this happen before...

Will your girlfriend check on her and text you updates. She might be ok by time you get home hopefully.

She didn't make it :(.. I Searched her cage, no signs of mold, mites or anything like that.. I've never heard of a T just dying like that... She was a little over 2" after her last moult..
