Unfortunately I think he's gone. The majority of his body is still out and when I shine the light in on him, I can see his bottom half. There is no pink in his shell and he has a pretty nasty smell.
I had also read that they like company but my foster daughter only has one and she's had him for three months now. That's why my daughter wanted one. I think my little one learned a pretty important lesson. She's heartbroken over his loss.
I forgot to mention that his color has not lightened at all. He's still the same color. What's up with that?
