So sorry for your loss Adam and I completely feel for you! While we try to give our turtles the best home and care possible, unfortunately unexplainable things just happen. Last year I was devastated to find my new almost 3 year old tan phased Gulf Coast got herself
stuck under a rock in the enclosure water tub. I found it dead within a couple hours. The day before, it was eating bsf larvae like a champ and a day later it was gone.....I truly am sorry for your loss.
Oh, how sad! I’m so sorry to hear that, but glad you guys share those sad stories nonetheless for the rest of us benefit of learning how to be more proactive in those situations where prevention is possible
