Has any other person ever caused the death of one of your Ts? Either by badly taking care of them or actually killing them by hurting them. My condolences if this has ever happened btw.
Aw that sucksI had a DOA (burst abdomen) on a 1/8" P. sazimai sling. It seemed to be packed well, and the other sling in the same box was fine. I didn't kill it, so someone in the shipping chain must have either been very rough with the box or subjected it to rapid pressure changes in the cargo bay of the plane.
Are you saying the radiator dried the air out too much or the centralized heating? My house only has two options, centralized or a space heater. I've worried about this as well.I learned a hard lesson about heaters and humidity this past winter. Right before winter started, I got quite a few slings. I also got a radiator heater for the T room - in years previous, I always just used centralized heating. I severely underestimated just how much it was drying out the enclosures. My slings stopped eating for reasons I couldn't figure out. Turns out they weren't eating because they were dehydrated. I lost a few slings before I realized it.
The heater is what did it. Honestly, it's very easy to avoid - I just had to water about twice as often as I usually needed to. It just took me too long to realize that.Are you saying the radiator dried the air out too much or the centralized heating? My house only has two options, centralized or a space heater.

Ah yes. I hate winter so much. The air is dry as heck on its own on top of being cold. It can be a slippery slope if regular moistening isn't remembered.The heater is what did it.

UHHHHHHThere was this one cyrtopholis portoricae I caught when I was a kid and kept it for some time before my grandad found out and took the enclosure, shook it out and then proceeded to step on it multiple times because "arañas peluas"(hairy spiders) were "dangerous". People are usually very ignorant of anything they dont understand and often choose to not understand or quite frankly dont care.
Sorry I kinda got carried away I wasnt trying to sound too upset but yea that happened XDUHHHHHH
aaaaaaaand that's why I prefer animals to people, for the most part.There was this one cyrtopholis portoricae I caught when I was a kid and kept it for some time before my grandad found out and took the enclosure, shook it out and then proceeded to step on it multiple times
hes better now. still never been to my spider room though. seriously though, my whole moms side of the family is extremely ignorant about snakes and spieders alike, drives me crazy....the hell is with psychopathic grandpas and their lack of respect for 1) you 2) living things?
