So in one of my local pet stores today I saw 5 or 6 G. roseas. All but one of them looked dehydrated, 1 was severly dehydraded with a shriveled abdomen. The one that didn't look too bad appeared to have some minor damage to its carapace, and appeared to be missing a fang.
I noticed that thier water source was water gel dumped into the corner (I won't even talk about the substrate)
So, tomorrow, I am going to go and more than likely buy the T with the missing fang.....even though this is not a T on my wish list. In addition I am going to print out the sticky thread about "how to really care for your G. rosea" and give it to the manager. Heres the question:
How do I address the whole water gel thing? Regardless of the differing opinions about water gel for T's, these animals are indeed dehydrated, and will likely die soon if something doesn't change.
I do hope the info is well received by the petstore, I have too many T's as it is...lol, witch is a drop in the bucket compared to many of you. This one would put me at 10. Any advice?
