[QUOTE="spookworm, post: 178686, member: 33376"] Sounds like pretty usual T behavior to me. I haven't kept versicolors before, but I've had another arboreal species that behaved similarly to what you're describing. I think the fact that she is moving around from her water dish, hide, and back suggests that she is fairly active and healthy. If she were on the verge of death, I would presume she wouldn't move whatsoever and begin to curl her legs in. I think you may be mistaking her legs curling with simply just tucking them in. It sounds like she has everything she needs to survive. Don't panic too much. It may be a good idea to get another person's opinion, but I think she's ok. I remember when I got my first T and always suspected the worst with everything. They're not quite as sensitive as you'd think :) Typically, the most visual symptom of dehydration is a wrinkled abdomen. She has all the water & humidity she needs so I highly doubt this is the cause. Keep an eye on her and continue to provide her with what she needs. [/QUOTE]
