[QUOTE="smallbike, post: 228764, member: 27486"] Mittens is about 2.75” across, has always done well and up until a few weeks ago, was webbing the top of this enclosure like usual. I took the web down because she’d (I don't know if she's actually a she) molted and had a bunch of pieces scattered around (I waited a good few weeks before doing so) and she decided to rebuild down here. She ate 2 nights ago, so I assume that’s a good sign, but she’s never done this before so I’m concerned. Last night, I changed her water, and when I checked on her today, there was this light brown/peach colored grit at the bottom of her dish (pictured, seltzer can for size reference). I have another T who is a serial dish-pooper - this is definitely not poop. Enclosure pics included - I added a lot more ventilation than it came with but I've heard some of this behavior can mean not enough for an arboreal. Now with the grit, I'm wondering if it's an impaction. Any advice is much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
