[QUOTE="KIA_PETE, post: 155481, member: 28353"] i think i should of added more context before posting. it had spent an entire year under a cork bark no entrance, no exit or way to feed it, no way to see if it was alive as a juvineile with it being so young i had concerns for it welfare. I think my first setup just didnt have enough features which propted move 1 where i added a bunch of stuff and it fed once then stopped. since then... I get what you are saying, but contrary to popular belief to change seems to of worked and like you said, I think it had something to do with ""if the surroundings are right and supports their natural behavior."" its eating all the time now, exploring at night, and its new web actually has an entrance and from what i can see by me moving stuff around it has created a small tunnel net work under its den in to another feature and seems entirely more happy about things. I didnt go in to its home just to take names and F**k sh*it up, after a year of it not eating or moving at all with no way of checking on it like i said before and no way to feed it as it had sealed everything so heavily, The only way i could see it was by lifting the cork bark roof off which was just risky and i didnt want to do, so i ended up buyin a Fiber optic camera (mission impossible style) so i could at least check on it with varied success with out causing damage to it home. which prompted the move to being with as I could see i dry curled up shell which ended up being a molt.
