So, I lost my first one since getting back into it, an H. Mac I got with credit from my local T store. The one in question I had for 2 days prior to him suddenly going into a death curl overnight and dead the next day, like I had not even finished his permanent housing unit! I would like to think given there was a gentle transport home and food and water provided that this was not my care given my other 27 Ts have been thriving for some time now with numerous molts. My question though is usually when I receive one I look at them closely for any signs of ill health prior to purchase, in this case though it was an H. Mac in an opaque container with an extremely bad attitude so I was limited on my ability of observation prior to moving him to the larger clear acrylic permanent housing I was making for him. Anyone have any suggestions on how to inspect something in a situation like this? Keep in mind due to Ulnar nerve damage my reactions aren't the fastest so usually with my OWs its a game of multiple containment like a Russian nesting doll thing and planning ahead of what they might do when rehousing or transporting. (This also has kept me away from getting the S. Calceatum I dream of. )
