[QUOTE="Allthingsterrarium, post: 319920, member: 10853"] Update guys! I don't know if he's quite dead as when I went to remove him I got some response and there's leg and arm movement but I know some insects such as roaches can move their legs for days after death due to residual brain activity or something. I think more or less though he could be functionally dead, he's certainly not going to last. No way he's going to eat or drink or climb so I think the most humane thing would just let him go in peace. I don't think there's much more that can be done. I would consider doing something to speed up the process and end any misery he might be in but I don't know if they feel pain or not with their less advanced arthropod brains. [/QUOTE]
