911! L4 male Bleph is down!

[hysteresis]

Hey guys. 911.

One of my new B. mendica is at the bottom of his cup.

He ate well yesterday. No idea what's going on. Perhaps related to the two day jouney to us... or perhaps bad care on my part.

Ive been keeping them in 32oz cups w mesh lids. Light spritz when they arrived, once more this morning. Ate BSFL segments last night.

IR emmiters (60W) 5 or 6 in away. Digital thermometer reads mid 85ish F.

Any suggestions greatly valued!

TIA!

Oh no! Is he still alive? You shouldn't spray Blephs... maybe that is the problem? What is the RH?

Maybe hey? Panterras caresheet says at least 30% with one spritz a day for them to drink. RH is right around 30. Maybe a bit lower, as the humidifier needs refill.

RH is perfect. I don't spray mine- they get all of their water from their prey. Don't keep this sp. humid, they like it dry. Can I see a pic of him? What did the BSFL eat last?

Gongys seem fine, as does the lady bleph.

Ok. Keep an eye on them just in case. Have you tried honey?

Ill need to prep a photo.

I have no idea what the BSFL ate. They came from an ON company called The Worm Lady.

 

[hysteresis]

Yes, i tried honey water. He moves once in a while.

He's in 94F now.

Maybe I screwed up. The IRs were washing across the cups.  Now they're washing down.

 

[MantisGirl13]

He doesn't look too good, I'm sorry! Don't heat him up too much too fast!

Okay cool TY. SO I shouldnt mist them once a day like the care sheets say?

All the others that took BSFL bits are fine.

So same with the gongys? Never mist them? It does get lower than 30s in here when it's cold out and the furnace runs hard.

 

[MantisGirl13]

I mist my gongys once a day, but not the blephs. 30c or 30f?

30%    30°F is a bit on the cold side. LoL.

30°C is likely pretty safe, but lower end.

In ON we often use Fahrenheit for temps.

 

[hysteresis]

My digitals say 92°F at the lid he's resting on.
