1. You can't make titles bold... they're already bold.

2. People that yell in public get ignored. People that yell on the internet get ignored as well. If you want someone to read your question, please state it plainly and use a couple exclamation points... the number of exclamation points you use in no way influences the time in which you will receive a reply. I removed all the SIZE 7 stuff and trimmed the exclamation points to a manageable number... just keep it in mind...

Is it an adult? If so, it may be at the end of it's lifespan and there's not much that can be done for it. Sorry about that, but did you have a dish of soil or moist sand for it to lay eggs in?

I just checked your age in your profile, and you're forgiven.

FWIW, I've never had good luck cohabiting large insects... I've never kept this particular species, but you always run the risk (especially if they're dehydrated at all) that they will snack on each other...

 

[Wade]

Crowded conditions and lack of suitable molting surfaces often result in deformities or death in phasmids. Also, if they fall during or immediately after molting they will usually die. Crowded conditions inrease the likleyhood of falls.

Four insects may not be crowded in most cages, but if it's a very small cage it could be too many. I wouldn't mix species either, especially considering how different these two are.

I keep Eurycantha calcarta in separate tank. Young can be kept in large numbers with other stick insects. Adult, especially males, are very agressive. When they are walking or fighting, they can drop other phasmids (which is fatal during their molt).
