My wife's S. Californica died today. Too bad since we have only had her about 2 weeks and were hoping she would lay an ooth. It seems a bit early for California for her to have died of natural causes, but who knows. When we found her she was crawling in cigarette ash laden dirt under the stairs to the office building where i work. She drank much water when we found her and she had a broken foot. Later either her other foot cracked off or she bit it off. She seemed perfectly healthy yesterday and had just been transferred to a new enclosure with fall scheme and twigs for oothing. I sprayed her a bit yesterday to encourage laying an ooth. She was fine this morning and just dead this afternoon. It appears one of her eyes turned black flecked on the inside of the lens or something and she seems to have been covered near her neck and arms with a syrup like substance - perhaps she regurgitated honey from gut loaded flies, i don't know. Perhaps she was old 
I know that these ephemeral creatures lead a fleeting life but it still sucks when they die.
Well, the other S. Californica i caught laid an ooth yesterday and is still alive, so that is at least good.
