Sadly I lost my Togo Starburst a few weeks ago. He’s the 1st T I’ve lost. I spent the 1st week after his death going over and over in my mind as 2 whether I had his conditions right. He was never 1 of the liveliest T’s in my collection (unless disturbed then boy could he gooooooo) Hence why my kids named him Wouldy (would he be bothered to move) When I bought him he was wild caught and mature (even tho @ the time thro inexperience I hadn’t realised as he appeared quite small) I’ve now decided there is a lesson 2 be learnt 4 me. I’m not going 2 buy mature wild caught T’s from now on. Not that I mind them dying (as long as its of natural causes) but more because I’m left wondering if the changes in his habitat after living his life in the wild played a part in his death. I also wonder if his still behaviour (even @ nite) was part of his inability 2 re-adjust 2 life in captivity Sad

I have a few male T’s and would not be put off buying more knowing their lifespan will be a lot shorter than a females. As long as I feel I’m giving them the best conditions 4 them 2 live out their lives as near 2 their natural habitat as I can.
