[QUOTE="Cnidarianfarmer, post: 198085, member: 37442"] So I found someones CL ad that said they were getting out of the hobby and had a adult female Brachypelma emilia, a male adult/ suspect penultimate B. hamorii and a adult female P. sazimai up for adoption, as well as a large green banana roach colony. When I inquired about the asking price I was rather suprised/skeptical as it was less than three hundred beans for all of it. He lived only 50min away and that deal was too good to pass up. So yesterday I met the seller and both the B. emilia and P. sazimai looked healthy/ beautiful. The B. hamorii male on the other hand looked pretty rough and almost on the brink of death curl, I didn't have much hope he would last another few days The enclosures they were in were very dirty, had dry bark chips/ mulch and bone dry water dishes, I could tell they had been neglected for a while. As soon as I got them home I put in an appropriate water dish/ water, with in a matter of minutes the B. hamorii and B. emilia went straight to the water, the B. hamorii spent almost an hour with his head dunked in the water. B. emilia [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210704_120531.jpg"]58109[/ATTACH] P. sazimai [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210704_092250.jpg"]58111[/ATTACH] B. hamorii on deaths door [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210703_161506.jpg"]58107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210703_164109.jpg"]58108[/ATTACH] Obviously very dehydrated, and today he looks a little bit better but in general still looks pretty bad also noticed, has what looks like a partially regenerated leg, I have offered a cricket and a discoid both he refused. Been spending most of his time primping the past day. I have always been more of an old world keeper and while I have had some grammys, these two are my first Brachypelmas. Any advice on getting this boy back into shape ? Would hornworms be a good offering to help rehydrate and help him put on some more size ? I want to rehouse him but dont want to put more stress on him ATM, TIA [/QUOTE]
