Icu

[darrell hetzel]

hello everybody,
i went to my friends (who is new to the hobby) house today, and found his A. aureostriata in a death curl. luckily, it was still alive. i got it into an ICU and it appears to be comming out of its curl. it is a small spid (approx. 3mm). i am wondering if there is anything that can be done for a T this size if it does not improve. i would appreciate any advice, as this is his first sling and i would feel bad if he lost it. i can only imagine how he would feel. this is also my first ICU, and i would love to see success.

thats a small T to be trying to revive. slings can be hard to raise anyway, let alone for a beginner. i think you are probably doing all that can be done, if it survives brilliant, if not then its just bad luck unfortunately. it is very rare that you get 100% survival from an egg sack, at that size, it could well be one of the ones from that egg sack that just aren't gonna make it, good luck though

Hi Darrell,

I agree with Matthew it's a very small sling and they can be tricky. Very best of luck - let us know how you get on.

thanks for the info and support everybody. i went to check on it again this afternoon and it is doing wonderfully! i will try a feeding tomorrow and see how it goes.
