Aw that's sad. I doubt very much that it was anything you did. Aw hugs xxx Could possibly have been the change in temperature from super-hot weather to relatively cool weather recently. Probably though, the journey from Africa, temperature changes, lack of moisture etc. all stressed his body out to the point where it couldn't recover. Have just been and buried the little guy outside in a quiet spot under some shrubs. Pretty gutted to be honest. I really thought it was looking good for all of them. Desperately hoping that the other three will be OK now - I'll be keeping a close eye on them and getting them out for baths regularly so I can check on them. If they all make it, I'll probably be keeping all three of them now, I think. I'm just glad that he was able to have some love and care in the days before he died, and he went in a warm wet tank with a full belly, and not starved to death or dried up in a tub outside in a stinky market. |

Oh no, that's terrible.
But you're right, you can feel good in yourself that you made his last days comfortable instead of him suffering out a horrible market, dying from malnutrition and starvation without the proper care he deserved.
It's a shame he died, but at least he died a happy snail, and you looked after him well.
Hope the others are OK x
