P.regalis sick please help!

[Andrea82]

She can move her fangs and her limbs, I tried dripping water on her via pipette, but apparently she can't drink, it just sits on her mouth.

Desperate try; have you tried cleaning it with a q-tip? Maybe something is stuck on her mouth.

I`m really sorry to hear this friend. It really sucks, i hope she gets better. I`m praying for you <3

What's strangest is she's showing all the symptoms of dehydration, except she seems unable to drink at all.

The mouth parts are fused. Use...ah I don't know how you'd handle your T given the venom. But what I did with my fem Avicularia avicularia's infestation was hold her and gently rubbed her fangs with qtip until the "cement" was gone. Then I started dripping water into the area.
Could've gotten infestation from prey.
Mine was a LPS buy. Never again. Now I only buy from here.
Good luck.

@louise f
Good to see you on the boards again. What are you doing over there--hibernating in your den?!

I´m happy to be here my friend. <3 My little son has been very sick. It has been a living nightmare. A lot of sleepless nights, and just wanted to sit with me all the time. So coffee was my number one.. to stay awake. Thank god he is doing well again.

So very glad he's well. We have enough craziness and sorrow right now. PM if you want.
Coffee is my friend.

She's quite weak. I'm going to try this.

I think I figured it out! I think she was severely impacted, I swabbed her anus with a wet Q-tip and all this poo started coming out.

Glad you may have figured it out! I tried soaking my centipede's impacted anus in warm water but no luck. How she pulls through!

MAJOR UPDATE: She is now moving around on her own! Might put her back in her home tomorrow morning.

Awesome job Tox! Hopefully she'll be able to take a drink again. Mouthparts still look weird?

She's been drinking fairly consistently. Her movement is still really deliberate and weak, but she's at least doing better.

I love these threads where a mystery problem finds a solution. Good job! I hope she keeps improving.

Great to hear she's doing better! Really good job figuring it out and finding a "cure"!

GREAT job, Tox. I hope she continues on to wellness. You've earned yourself some zzzzzzs.

Well uh... checked on her this morning and she's just dead. Last night she had flipped herself over and was trying to walk around, and this morning she's just suddenly dead. No idea what happened. Died with a full abdomen, externally seemed perfectly healthy. I'll add an image soon.
