>>i have a brazilian white knee that has lived with me since it was about the size of a quarter, at least 5 years. I just check on her and she had just molted and was dead in her enclosure. I am really upset about this, what happened? she appears to be a little wet and maybe some insides hanging out of her bottom side. This is a huge bummer, what could have caused this? She has always done great, eaten grate, and looked great.
>>Thanks,

Hard to say without seeing it myself, but it sounds like it got a wet molt or possibly had an abdomen rupture. Sorry for your loss.
