[QUOTE="Ibnhamar, post: 220105, member: 39497"] Hey all! So I'm new to the hobby and I've done a good bit of lurking and research, but I can't help but be bothered by the same questions. Could anyone tell me if my G. Pulchra sling looks to be in pre-molt? The booty do be lookin plump to me, but I'm not sure if that's my untrained eye and Pulchras normally have this body-to-abdomen ratio as slings. If it's hard to tell from these pictures, I'll try to snap others when I can/it's in a good position. Trying not to disturb it as much as possible, as I just got it about a week ago. Additionally, I set up it's enclosure to suggestions I compiled across different husbandry guides, but it doesn't seem to be burrowing much or utilizing a few of the little burrows I made, or little hides/concealment. It's mostly chilling out in the open, or on the wall of the enclosure, which makes me nervous about the moisture level at the top of the substrate, but I packed down and wetted layers of substrate progressively (or, inversely so with wettest at bottom). I've read all T's are different of course, so I'm sure all of this may be normal, I just can't help but be an overly paranoid new parent. I want to take great care of it. Please feel free to scold me if I'm going about any of it in the wrong way or if anything looks off. Regards and thanks for any help/advice[ATTACH type="full"]69243[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]69244[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
