hi everyone,
we bought a p. Chordatus from our lps earlier. It was new stock that had just arrived. We saw he wasnt moving a great deal when we bought him but we put that down to travel stress. However when we got her'i think its a she' home we noticed how much her legs were curled under the back mainly seemed to be the biggest problem, as she seems to want to do a buckaroo impression, putting her fangs on the floor and back legs in the air. When we got her home she was grasped round her water bowl, but it was so muddy and grubby i just immediately, took the water bowl out, picked her up 'i was able to! A big p. Chordatus! Thats how sluggish she is' and placed her straight, fangs down into a clean water bowl in a warm, wet I.C.U. She has been in there for roughly 6 hours now, iv been checking every 15 mins to make sure her abdomen isnt submerged. She moved away from the water dish, i put her back there, then later she moved away again so i have left her alone now. She seemed to be dead 1 minute, then the other she would walk fast accross the bed. She sits in the corner of the icu, stil some leg curl tho. The abdomen looks thin but nothing mega drastic. Any thoughts ideas please? Im keeping her in the I.C.U. at least until tomorrow afternoon and just hoping. Thanks.

also:
it is not a mature male dying, it has no palpal bulbs.
It is not bleeding or injured, i have checked thoroughly.
All i can think of is dehydration
