: : Hey jeff, whatever happened to your "twisting" obsoleta? Is it still alive? Did you figure out what caused it? Hope everything turned out okay.

: To get back to Derek and all, she is still alive and had me very worried for a while. I asked Don Soderberg(whom I got the clutch from)because he has had so much experience and he said it sounded like toxic shock. I had already isolated her in a shallow bath of room temp water overnite. The "twisting" stopped but she still has some lingering affects that I hope reside in time. She ate for me last nite so the worst may be over. Its not too often that a hatchling has this serious of a condition and lives to tell about it. Thanks for all those that helped,Jeff

Toxic Shock...from what? I have been breeding obsoleta of all types for 10 years and haven't had one exhibit that type of behavior. I'm not arguing that it might not be right, just wondering the source of toxicity.
