I lost one of my T's due to a feeder nibbling on the T while it was moulting :(

We were away for the weekend and had no idea that the sling was about to moult. Fed it the Friday before we left, and by Sunday evening when we got home it was dead.

A roach nibbled on it while it was laying on it's back and moulting.

It was Blatta lateralis Marula. The T was a Gramastolla sp. conception, was around 3,5cm leg span.

Blatta lateralis (Forest Roach) can be very nippy, especially when hungry or thirsty. One of the few species of roach that cannot be trusted around moulting T's.
