died in the water dish? sure it was dead and not just dehydrated?
i never had a T die in a water dish, but if it could make it to the water dish and act "fine" recently, what would cause him to go into the death curl? isnt the death curl a dehydrated curl, the legs fold under b/c they need water to move, or something along those lines.....anyways i dont seem to be wrapping any of my thoughts up so leave it at this
sorry to hear about your OBT, i had one die of nemetodes recently

May have been too wet.
My OBT's are kept bone dry.
I just pour a little water on the webbing once in a while.
Try keeping your next one dry.

Sorry about your loss..

The humidity could have been too high, I agree with Mr T.
