Ok, my B. smithi male approx. 5" molted on the 17th. It has not fed or taken water since its molt. It's abdomen was slightly shirveled, hinting at dehydration, but it would not go near its water dish.
Yesterday I found it in a partial death curl...but still alive. I put it in an ICU and 9 hours later its movements and appearance improved drastically. I put it back into it's enclosure and it immediately hair-bombed me and went straight up the side of its enclosure. Later it came back down and sat on top of its hide.
Today I come home from work and it's hanging on the side again, this time with its underside facing to where I could see it. Thats when I discovered that it has a white encrustation on and around one of its book lungs. (The left rear book lung to be exact.) The encrustation completely covers the affected book lung. Anyone know what it could be or have any ideas?

It took another turn for the worse last night, decided to euthanize it so it would not suffer. Man this sucks...this was going to be my breeder male for my female.

Had almost the same thing happen to my male not to long ago. Just decided to die before maturing. No idea as to why but he was a big male. Sorry to hear that.

Im sorry :-/

if you want i have a 5" immature male that molted about 2-3 months ago so it may be a while before he matures, but i will give you first dibs, and give you a good deal if you would like.

sometimes they molt before they are ready. i am scared that is going to happen to my T blondi.

Frankie, thanks for the offer buddy. We're getting ready to move in the next 2 weeks so I better not get anything right now. As a matter of fact I have 3 T's coming from madamwlf that I may have to have her delay shipping on and hold for me until we get moved, not sure. If you still have the male after I get moved we will talk though, cause i deff want a male for my female.

Hey, sorry to hear about your b. smithi. If you need me to hold your Ts for a bit no problem at all. I think I can handle that feisty rosie a little bit longer. Smile

Wlf, I think it would be ok to go ahead and ship out on Monday for Tuesday delivery. We're not going to be moving the big stuff until next weekend anyway.
