[QUOTE="Johnnyp1987, post: 65267, member: 4257"] Just looking for some advice regarding my juvenile t stirmi. About 4 weeks ago it blocked off the entrance to its burrow, i could still see inside and it would just sit there all day, i tried feeding but it refused it. About 2 weeks ago i checked and it had completely blocked off the entrance so i can no longer see it. Ive left pre killed mealworms at the entrance every few days and none have been taken. Obvious signs suggest pre molt. I know i should just leave it alone, but given the molt issues that can occur would it be ok to move some of the substrate and just look in to check or just wait it out. The temp and humidity are fine and water bowl is full at all times. What are the approx times for a t stirmi to go into pre molt and actually molt then emerge? Also id like to ask about my g pulchra sling, it always stays on the lid of its enclosure, substrate is dry, small water dish (bottle cap) and hide are in the enclosure. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
