Something weird in Avic cage

[nickianderson]

I found this weird thing in my A. avic's cage, burrowed in to the great stuff foam on the back. It crunched a little when I went to remove it, it also looks broke.
It is hollow and swirled looking. My T wasn't near it, but I'm not sure if I should worry or not. I just got back from being gone all weekend and barely saw it.

Thanks!

Looks like an empty pupal case. I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you feed your avic superworms? It looks like the end of a superworm, in any case nothing to worry about

No, mainly crickets right now. Glad it's nothing to worry about though, it would suck to completely disassemble the cage!

Have you fed it any kind of roaches?

No, no roaches either

maybe you avic had a party while you were gone

no but seriously some kind of pupa case from a metamorphosis

Haha I'm thinking all the T's and scorp did! I'm trying to figure out how it got in there and it must have been eaten or is hiding very well!

This. Looks like the top 2/3 of a butterfly chrysalis to me.

Have you fed your T wax worms? It looks like a moth might be hiding somewhere in the enclosure

No I haven't fed any wax worms, I searched everywhere and didn't see one, but he/she is a very clean eater and I never find any remains, the isopods clean up at the bottom too. Also a very good eater, eats almost anytime I put food in there, except this last time, so it's very possible it has already been consumed!

If it's an empty pupal case or crysalis, there's also a chance that whatever crawled out of it has already become a snack. Or it's hiding somewhere.
