Gooty Saphire

[RobG]

My Gooty Sapphire sling molted and didn't survive, could I have done anything different or is it just the law of averages that loads don't make it? Either way disappointing

Sorry for your loss, but it could've been any number of things.

If you keep lots of slings sooner or later you will lose one to a molt. If you keep lots of T's you can and will lose bigger T's as well to a molt. If the sling makes it through the molting process itself some key indicators of a bad molt are mishaped legs, legs all different sizes than should be, and your once trying to devour anything in sight baby runs from any food! Have had all these situations arise from bad sling molts. Unfortunately it's a part of this hobby we dread and hate but it happens. It sucks even more when it's an expensive sling! Pokies ain't cheap. I still beat myself up notheless but really sometimes it is just the law of averages! Not all slings will make it sad as it is. My condolences.
