Yesterday I found one of my L. parahybana slings, dead.
He molted about a week ago. When I first saw him, he was in that hunched up, "leave me alone while I'm soft" position. He did move a bit when I took out the molt, stretched out a bit, but went back to his huddled position. Well, he never left that position, and yesterday when I checked on him, I noticed his little legs curled under him. He was gone. I'm not sure how long he'd been dead. I should have paid closer attention, but I just wanted to leave him alone to recover after the molt.
I still have two more L parahybana slings, but I really liked the idea of having three. I had already promised to donate one of them to a boy scout camp nature center when they were bigger. Now I'm really hoping the remaining two are both girls.
