Hi guys. I just acquired this baby, an Albo.
Its really cute. Lol.
And I am most surprised at it's slowness when it moved. I thought it's dead already when I open the tube. (-___-)
I am too used already with my 2 OW slings (OBT and Javanensis).
.
Question: will it be OK with the spaghnum moss that I put?
I heard it prefers a little on the dry side.
And the butt is well, baldy but not blackish. Thats fine also, right?
.
Thanks in advance.

Since I don't use moss I can't say, as for the bald spot, it was just kicking hair.

Moss is fine. Is there a water dish in there? Albo's do like it dry, but enclosure humidity should be at least 50%. Is this your first NW? If so, consider Jon3800's mythbuster video on this species. He has a real tender spot for them.

Moss is ok, it holds moisture forever so my Ts that require low humidity I try to not get it wet. My Ts like it too, I find them rolling it around and some will even pull some into their burrow for a little extra bedding.

I dont use WD yet. Its just apprx 3cm. not enough space inside the tube. Thats why I thought about using moss in case the T feels thirsty. Hahhah... I just hope its not too wet or humid inside.
I will check the vids later tonight. Thankyou for the suggestions. :)

My javan burried them. (-___-)
Thats why IDK about whether they really use it or not. Or like it/no. I hope it wont make the enclosure too wet and humid.
