Today was supposed to be a happy day. It was supposed to be the day I received my first T. An A. Purpurea! I waited and waited all day. I tracked my package. It was in my city at 9:30am. I expected it to come any minute! I waited ALL day. Today it was around 100 degrees outside. My package came at around 5:45 pm. USPS fails! They are so sloooow! Anyways, I was so excited. I opened my package saw my fruit flies...they were fried...dead...When I saw that my heart sank. I thought dear god my T! He is probably dead too! I got him out and nudged him a little. He moved a leg. I knew he was not dead. He is barely alive. I rushed to the store (because "smartly" I didn't have an ICU container) and got a container. I punched tiny holes in it and filled it with substrate and misted it. Then I put my half dead T in there. My little sling is barely alive, though I could have sworn I saw a threat pose. My imagination and hopes. It is no fault of the breeder it is the fault of the heat and the damn postal service who likes to take their sweet sweet time!! I don't know what to do. I wrote the breeder about my T and my fruit flies so hopefully she can do something about it. I've got some pictures of my not-so-well T. =( I am hoping that tomorrow I do not see the death curl. I haven't seen it yet, though in the pictures it does look extremely bad. He was still moving then so idk.
Here are a couple pictures...
Sooo I just checked on Spidey...Not a good outcome. He looks dead. No death curl though. No movement. I will leave him alone for the rest of the night though.
EDIT: Also, he already had a messed up leg from his previous molt. So that may be why his legs look so funny? Have no clue though.
