One Two Three Four

Long story short, Big Frank has been burrowed down against a heating mat (my fault) for two days and I think he cooked himself.

He smells bad and isn't moving very well. Half of his foot is very stiff, hard, not flexible and even a slightly different color.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately this is why heatmats should never be put underneath a snail tank, only on the side.
