Here's some pics of a ceph I got in mid May that didn't arrive in the best condition but is now making a recovery. I got it from a reputable seller but I guess it may have been too hot outside for shipping.
I've had a lot of cps in the past but this was my first ceph so I didn't really know what to expect, although my goto approach is usually just leave them alone and let them do their own thing.
It arrived in May with a mature pitcher but it slowly withered away, probably due to shock from the change in environment. Here's how it looked like in June, you can see the pitcher kind of looking sad already. The crown didn't look too good, it was basically all brown and no growth happened at all between May and June: But then in July I saw some new growth peeking out through the sand: By the end of July it was looking pretty good: And now at the end of August/Early September the pitchers have opened up and started to get some color At this point even the original brown growth point seems to be sprouting again too. I guess it's good that it was a "dry brown" and not a "wet rotting brown" which would have been a more deadlier issue.
