Dead pamphobeteus plattyoma

[Jacobchinarian]

This is so depressing. Yesterday he was chowing down on a superworm(with it's head crushed) and today it is dead. He is only a third instar. The only possible thing that could have happened to him is a diseased petsmarts superworm or maybe it was the toilet bowl cleaner from my bathroom which he was sitting by. But I don't think it is that because the fan was on ,it has been since Sunday that I used it and he was fine until today. I think it was the super worm because alot of the worms in the box were dead and he finished eating it a day before he died. Please give me all the possibilities you can think of.

I killed a couple platyomma when I first started keeping them... they died because I didn't keep the enclosures moist enough. Could that have been the case?

Could have been but I doubt it he was so active and crazy until the day he died. Also his abdomen was gigantic and I highly doubt it was lack of nourishment.
