[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 207068, member: 33266"] Keep in mind that even within a species you can get completely different behavior between individuals. T. albopilosus, like many terrestrial species, tend to hide and burrow a lot more during their sling and juvenile stages as they feel safer that way. Consider as well the lighting, these Ts are nocturnal and usually do not venture out during the day as it makes them easy prays. As your "baby" will mature and with the proper enclosure conditions, it might end up spending more and more time in the open although it is really necessary to always offer them somewhere they can hide and feel safe in. Last but not least, pet stores (in general as there are a few exceptions) do not have the slightest cue of what Ts are and their needs ;) [/QUOTE]
