[QUOTE="kormath, post: 83029, member: 4199"] Enclosure looks fine. Only changes i'd make is a few holes around the sides near the top for extra ventilation. My B. albo's dig and dig and hide for months on end. Or did. They'll come out and be more visible once they get to be about 1.5" dls and start showing their adult colors. You got a few months of looking at dirt and wondering ;) Easy way to tell if they can be fed - the hole to their burrow/hide will be open. If they've blocked themselves off to the rest of the world leave them be. They'll come out or open the hide/burrow when they're ready. I have 2 slings burrowed away out of sight now and it's driving me crazy ;) one is my new tiny little 1/2" L. itabunae and the other is the new N. colorsomething I never can remember how to spell. I check my boxes of dirt daily to see if the slings have pushed a molt out or opened up the burrow/hide. If there's an opening i'll drop in a roach right then, then take it out the next day if it's still running around and do the process over the next day till it's eaten. Love the B. albos fun little guys to watch bulldoze if you get the chance. [/QUOTE]
