IS SHE DYING?

[angelbite]

Hello guys I am freaking out because she is laying like this and kinda moved but idk if its just molting or she might be dying? Help please What do I do?

 

[cold blood]

What species?


It's either molting (but I don't see a mat) or dying....If it's not molting, you can try putting a droplet of water at the base of the fangs

Looks like a versi , my male often moults on the floor but always webs the snot out of it first.... follow colds advice I would try a droplet of water on the mouth and wait and hope she either moults or flips bk over.

Sp and enclosure pics may help to determine what's wrong or not if you could provide them please.

Thats why I freaked out because no mat under her. Yes its versi and I gave her a drop of water she started moving her feet a little, but she had water in her enclosure, I spray it on the walls or give her a little cup. But now the drop just sits on her fangs.

Her not drinking is hopefully a good sign, it does look like she may have webbed the top to moult and has fallen out. Just keep a close eye on her, if she drinks the drop offer more if she doesn't hope it's because she's going to moult and that she's OK after the fall.

If she is OK after all this could I suggest some more web points and ventilation, arboreal do better with good airflow and lots of decor to hide behind. Seek out @viper69 read his link under his name on avic, versi are close to them and the set up is very similar. It may help you in future, and please keep us updated on your little lady.

Thank you, I will keep you updated. I put her enclosure into dark place and put a water dish near her, she keeps moving her legs a bit. Yesterday evening I gave her a cricket and when I woke up I found her like this, so I hope that cricked didnt hurt her or anything (I took the cricket out as soon as I found out). She was getting smaller so I really hope shes just trying to moult in peace. The web hide above her was already there tho, she made it right after she moved in (Ive had her for maybe a year now, got her when she was 3 years old and she moulted once so far.

Yes can see the web isn't new but the way it slopes to the rip makes me think she's fallen through. Versi are clumsy, very clumsy and if there was a crix in there she could of easy tried to shuffle away from it after she'd flipped and fell off, or the crix was on the bark so she's come down n not had enough time to make a matt. Either way hopefully she will moult and be non the worse for her ordeal.
I wish you both the best of luck and hopefully by this evening you will be posting pics of her in her shiny new outfit .

Seems to me like a fall as well. Not an ideal visual however that seems like a deathcurl. When in doubt increase humidity. Try not to disturb the T for a day or so and see how it goes.

Actually increased humidity can be a cause of this, especially if air movement isn't ideal.

Op, keep in mind, ts drink very slowly, so it drinking the droplet would barely be perceptible.

This looks like a death curl to me. If it were mine, I would flip it upright and put it's mouth in a shallow water dish. I don't see any type of water dish in you photos, so if you've only been relying on misting to provide water for it to drink then it's likely severely dehydrated. They will often refuse food when very dehydrated, too, which could explain the uneaten cricket. Hopefully it's not too late for it to recover, but when they fall and start curling, it usually is.

Oh that made me so sad I hope op's t is OK, I hate to think I gave false hope if there was non.

Hi guys, Sullivan passed she will be missed. Thank you all for your advise

I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss :/

A bit of advise for the future: be careful not to assume the problem was low humidity (not saying that’s what you’re doing, by all means). It’s not uncommon to blame it on “low humidity” when, most of the time, it’s the exact opposite that causes it. By thinking it’s too dry, we make it too wet. And too wet is way worst than too dry. Way, way worst.
Just something to keep in mind.

We all have been there. It sucks big time, but use it as a learning experience and keep going
