[QUOTE="kormath, post: 66950, member: 4199"] I wouldn't worry too much. It's large enough you'd be able to see it when it comes out, and it could be doing the winter hibernation thing or molting. My G. pulchripes burrowed down and closed his burrow off the evening he arrived and hasn't been seen since. He's the same size as your genic. Frustrating isn't it? However the substrate is moist to allow for good burrowing and i keep the water dish full every night. I've found that after they burrow down and close off the entrance(s) on these tiny slings it's quite hard to find the burrow as the tailings look just like the substrate. Larger slings you can easily tell the tailings from the burrow vs the substrate. [/QUOTE]
