Hey guys - this is my first post
I got a G Rosea for christmas Dec 1988 and have cared for her since.
Never had any problems, at start of last month (approx 8th) she completed a successful moult so left her for about 4 weeks before offering any food.
Got a few locusts and she wasnt interested, in fact she did her best to hide as far away from them as possible so I ended up takin them out of tank.
Since then she's been very jumpy, have her in kitchen and the slightest vibrational movement had her moving her legs on substrate very quickly like she was hot sand (only way I can describe it).
She then 3 days ago tucked herself in beside driftwood I have in tank and hasnt moved a muscle since.
This morning I lifted her out but no reaction, she's slightly cooler than normal and not stiff (legs kinda curled under her but still moveable). Abdomen looks slightly wrinkled.
Have put her in container as I'm not 100% she's completely dead but dont know how to tell ?
Can anyone help, as ya can imagine I'm very upset as she's been part of my life for such a long time too
Thanks
