Valentina passed over the weekend. :( I found a taxidermist who is going to preserve and display her in a frame for me.

No pesticides have been used on the grounds or within the building in over a year. However, they did have the corridor hallways professionally stream cleaned in October. They would've come up to my door but not inside my suite. Im not sure what type of cleaner they may have used. Little miss...

He lives a good hour away and said he always showered and wore clean clothes. Im still thinking trace amounts could be problematic even if unlikely. I'm in an apartment. The windows have been closed for a month or longer as its been pretty cold. Nothing to spray for outside in these freezing...

Light bulb... i am seeing someone who has been removing black mold from his basement. Do you think a spore or two may have gotten into her enclosure and caused any of this?

It sure is maddening not knowing what is wrong and how to fix it. I never thought i would become so emotional but i have. She's my gorgeous girl and i just want to best for her. I always have. I will continue to keep you informed and hopefully my next update will be to report she's recovered and...

Im staying as opimistic as possible. I wanted to check her rear end and get pics to share that is the only reason i handled her tonight. I know the stress can be just as fatal as illness. I'm using a paint brush on her toes to gain a response. She can be a bit elusive and i hadnt managed to get...

She's still fighting so I do too! Whatever it is, shes not ready to go. It doesn't feel right to give up just yet. It's such a horrible choice to make. I wouldn't wish this in my worst enemy. Im giving her another day, and another after that and so on and so on. As long as she doesn't...

She seems to have stumped everyone. I got home today and she's still alive. Im so torn on what to do here. I could put her out of her misery or end her life prematurely. I know they say they aren't dead until they start to smell. Shes not smelling and clearly fighting. I checked her for blockage...

It was one of the causes i thought of initially but she didn't show any external signs of blockage so i back burnered it until i saw the size of that poop. It would explain why her abdomen is still plump and her condition continues to decline. I'm hoping i go home and she's like "haha! Fooled...

I have no idea, I'm not even sure that's the problem. I never noticed any plugs and i checked for plugs and anything unusual with her spinnerettes.

I'm thinking it's impaction. She had her whole abdomen in the water dish with this big turd. She's curling more and more. I think tomorrow night will be her last. Im crying. She started me in the hobby and i dont want to lose her. My poor girl. :(

I left her alone yesterday, i checked on her a few times and she seemed like she was okay. This morning she was in a death curl again. I picked her up and a leg or two barely twitched. I put some water on her mouth and put her in her upgrade so i can see and get to her much easier. I placed her...

Here is her setup. it's ended up a bit trashed from me going in and getting her to help with rehydration. The webbing was a lot thicker and attached to the side. Shes hiding out in the back corner. I've dribbled some water down the corner for her in the off chance she doesn't hit up her water...

I do not. I only have pictures of her molt but it wasn't spread out so i can't see if it was there or not. Any other way to determine a sucking stomach issue? I'll move her to another room. My other ts are eating fine. I moved my others as to not disturb her, she's been thru enough of that...

She is in the same room but across the room from the rest of my collection. Should i remove her from the room completely?

I think my GBB has been suffering from severe dehydration. I found her in a partial death curl approx. 5 days ago and have been successful is rehydrating her somewhat but i feel its not enough. A little backgorund on her and what ive been doing to help her. She's been in my care since January...

This is pretty much what i had had in mind. I'm not so sure i like the idea anymore. I know I'm capable of making a steady, gap-free enclosure but what im not capable of is controlling the unpredictable nature of a T.

Haha! What a surprise that must have been! Did you keep any? :wideyed:What a wonderful idea! I'll look into this as an option.

She's a confirmed female, approx. 2 years old with a 3.5" span. I think such a tank would be true compliment to her beauty.

Acceptable for my GBB?
