OK most of you saw this thread:

I got this T and pics follow. First day her checilera looked to be not moving. She appears to have about 1.25 fangs and her leg L4 is really badly twisted. Some other legs are bowed but not so bad. Her abdomen wasnt too thin but not really lump either.
So heres what i did. I brought her home and set her up a KK. Dry peat and a shallow water dish(bottle cap). Got a cricket and mashed the pulp out of it literally and removed any hard bits. Added some water to make a cricket gut soup. USed a syringe to feed this delicacy to her. She ate a couple drops of it and stopped. I am sure she was stressed to high heaven. After the couple drops she started kicking around so i placed her face down in the water dish( abdomen not in it) she appeared to drink most of it and crawled out.
Today i was looking at her and her legs are still mangled of course but she was moving more than she had. So i got a small cricket about 2/3 grown and dumped in front of her. The cricket hauled butt across the tank so i prodded it back to her front end and she grabbed it!!!!!!!! She caught the cricket and is proceeding to eat it on her own!!! Looks like she wants to live so things are brightening up here for her. I mean she couldn't chase one down but just grabbing it up when its in front of her like that is certainly a great sign.
Makes it all worth it!!!!!!!
