[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 107510, member: 1152"] If you've got it well-ventilated, it should dry out fairly fast. What you may be seeing is just stress from the rehousing. Did you offer it a hide? A lot of my Ts will circle the top of the enclosure after being put in a new enclosure; they usually settle down after a couple days or so. It [I]could[/I] be that it doesn't like the moist substrate; this is a species that prefers to be kept bone dry. If only half of the substrate is moist, you could just let it dry out on its own (a photo of the enclosure would help). If it's moist enough that you start seeing condensation, then I would replace the substrate with dry. Condensation would mean that it's too stuffy in there. These guys really don't need a moist spot, especially at 4 cm, so you can probably save yourself the stress of worrying about humidity in the future. They WILL drink, however, so you if you can't fit in a water dish, you can just dribble some water on the webbing. :) Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
