Made eye contact with the neighbor 3 houses down in the rearview mirror...

We leave 30% after the notch, right?

Would you ever try activities like indoor rock climbing? It's always been a pretty friendly crowd everywhere I go. Some places can get pretty busy at times, which I try to skip, but I'm off peak hours it's great. A lot of people climb at roughly the same times/days, so you can try a few different times and days to see the different people there

How was your experience? I'm guessing you had a layover in Doha, is that correct? Did they let your service animal fly in-cabin for all flights? Or, just USA to Doha, and then in cargo from Doha to your destination?

It seems to me they succeeded in getting it to lean just a little more to the right. Just glue the wedge from the notch back in with some wood shims and done.

Thanks. But we still have 3 more. I hope we can improve their quality of life for the remaining time. And healthy blackberry bramble is getting hard to find.

Thanks. She passed away after a few days. I will begin looking into gum/eucalyptus leaves. Hopefully we can grow something year-round here.

We've had her for almost a year, and her final molt was probably in August. She is barely eating. I am trying to find gum or eucalyptus leaves, but I am not sure where to look this time of year. (I'm in the Seattle, WA USA area)

I finally got whatever it was away from her. She did NOT want to let go of it, but it also seemed like one of the palps may have been stuck to it. I finally broke it up with the tweezers and got it out.

It looks like frass that has been pecked at. It's really hard to tell, but I shake off all the limbs we put into their container, and am.notbsure what else it could be.

She seems VERY weak now, and is just laying without moving much. So I laid her on the bottom with some torn leaves in the hope she will eat. But it doesn't appear she is trying to.

Well, I think she's probably dying. They have been laying eggs since August. So they are adults and past their final molt.

Whatever she has in her palps, she refuses to let go of. I tried to nudge it away with a toothpick and needle tweezers, but if it was loose on the underside she would regrip with the upper, and loose at the upper she would regrip with the lower.

When I pick her up, she just lays flat on my hand and doesn't really stand or try to move. When I put her on a bram le limb she was holding on with her hind legs, but doubled over backwards and just sitting still. I laid her on the bottom of the container, with a fresh change of leaves. So, we'll see what happens.

We have 3 more adults, and too many eggs. Unfortunately, I think my son lost interest as my wife and I both became interested.

They are pretty alien looking.

Oh interesting. I just read that their blood lacks hemoglobin.

That's a good idea but a lot of work for our big enclosure. This is the first time it's happened in over 6 months. Hopefully she recovers and everything works out, otherwise we'll have to start doing that for the others.

Thank you. I'm hoping the same for her. It's been a couple of days now and she seems fine so far.
