Well if it was near Raldon while she was moulting, it could have chewed on her even killed her. Or just stressed her out so she rushes the moult and tore limbs off (5% of all T deaths), or bite it when her fangs were soft (in self defence) damaging her fangs and possibly starving to death.
Raldon is now moulting once every-month!! Caught me by surprise this morning when I discovered the moult in his cage.
I see a cricket in the background... Bad, very bad...
ReplyDeleteEish, luckily it didn't cause any problems huh? Risky business that!
ReplyDeleteyou guys are funny... why would the cricket cause any problems?
ReplyDeleteWhat a little beauty. Want!
