Brought two back from Riverbanks zoo in Columbia SC about three weeks ago and they seem to be declining more and more. They're in full sun and get plenty of water. See pics in my palm thread. Any suggestions on what is wrong?

My guess would be either pincher bugs eating the root system, or not a airy enough soil mix. You can kill the bugs easy with a systemic if you know your soil mix is good and doesn't trap water.
