My T's were left out due to my illness that I was battling for about 5 weeks in and out of the hospital. Finally I've recovered and I'm back home in my hometown and home here at the forum. Sorry I have not been active during those times. I haven't seen my T's for a month until this morning.

Nice to see there have been 16 molts even I hadn't checked them out and monitored them for the past month. They have survived. But I also had 1 death. Too bad I can't determine when my adult male C. fasciatum passed away..

Well I'm back.. I have a lot to catch up with my T's and here at the forum.. hello to everyone.. seems like I need a post in the introduction section again..

I was thinking how long can a captive T survive unattended? Anyone left their T's more than a month?

Hello hellknite
Great that you have your health back.
Sorry that you lost one of your T's, always a sad event when we lose one.
5 days is the longest period I've left my T's unattended, fed prior & extra water. Odd that you lost an adult C. fasciatum, maybe dehydration was the cause? Most good eaters (sub adults/adults) IMO would be OK for month w/o food, but not w/o a supply of water.
Just my thoughts.

Great to hear you're better. Hope you continue to have a smooth recovery.
Sorry for your loss, but congrats on the successful molts.
