Brown stuff

eldondominicano · Jan 30, 2015

Hello all, I just received a package of T's, in which a couple there was a little blotch of.. Not sure what it is, yet the T's didn't seem in any harm. Any possible answers? Dirt maybe? Poo? the reason I wouldn't think liquid from the abdomen, is cuz they're still alive.. The one and only time I had this happen to me the T was DOA and there was a lot of brown looking liquid, it was greenish in color as well. I'm open to all kinds of answers/solutions, and whatever else you might have in mind to share. Thanks,

-Rafael

Can you get us some pictures of it? "brown stuff" is pretty unspecific. Is it dried or still wet?

Lol at the moment I cannot, at work, only had a little window to check and see if my T's arrived alive. But in more detail, the splotch is only about 1/8-1/6 the size of the two T's that I saw it in. The paper towel is damp thus the splotch being so. There was no curling under of the legs and the T's were able to move quickly when I moved the paper towel. Picture a somewhat cylindrical small area in which a smudged pile of dirt is located, not saying its dirt but looks that way. I'm sorry for the lack of visual help. I will post a pic when I can

This is the best I could do.. And actually the splotches are a lot smaller than I suspected only a fraction of the T size

yep it's poo might be from change of pressures on there trip, or just scared it out if them, or just needed to go,sometimes it is present and the T is dead you got lucky all was fine

Woot! Of course all I was able to do is peek in and see them.. when I get home will be the real test but the ones with the brown splotch I didn't see any liquids coming out of their abdomen and saw no curling.. Praise God!! BTW just1moreT, two of which I got are E. Cyanognathus 1"ers, I'd like some husbandry insight on them. Not that I haven't done any research and set up accordingly, but I'd like to know from people who have delt with Ephebopus sp.

Of course by this I mean what are some methods you use for these higher moisture dependent sp., environment etc..

I do believe they need more moisture than most sp , there nice T to own also enjoy them

Just poo.

I kept my E. Murinus slightly moist as a sling, as a juvie/SA I keep it pretty much dry, they're aren't as temperamental with humidity as some would suggest, in my experience anyway.
