Hey, it could be. Do they have trees in Texas? Or just oil and armadillos? (and big hats).

I probebly will find cyrtopsis, but only babies I quess.
I feel for you. I bought my first two as a pair of babies in 04 and quickly figured out I had 2 girls! I bought a male baby from Scott Felzer that escaped and was found dead. I finally thought I had bought a pair of adult males and when they arrived I find out that I have 2 more females! I finally got a male when someone read my tale of woe and we made a deal for his male and one of my females!

Re: A sad weekend

Today the vet had a 50 minutes visit here. He has done a physical check and faeces examination. He could not find much, which is a good sign.

-1 of the last animals I bought ( now some 1,5 months ago) had a little short on Calcium. So I need to adjust it's diet accordingly.
-For the rest he had nothing to particular to add. Everything was ok.

I also asked about the enclosures. He said I could add a TL lamp for UV, but it is normally not necessary. I think I'll be changing this in the next enclosure's I make.

As the female died suddenly, he thought it could have something to do with her pregnancy. For example egg-binding, although I've always heard that they stop eating for a while if this happens...

So for now, I consider it an accidental death.
