I read that is normal, does that mean it's molting?  I couldn't find any information if it does molt in it's burrow, will it bring that molt to the surface to like get it out of it's burrow?  I was just curious what happens to the molt if they molt in the burrow?   I just received him last Thursday and by Friday night he buried himself, he didn't just burrow, I see no opening to his burrow.  I read shipping/traveling could cause them a lot of stress and possibly put them into a molt or pre molt.  It's so hard because he is so dang cute and I'd love to see what's going on.  I know to just let him be and do his thing but man this is stressful.   He's maybe not quite 1 1/4" he is already all black.</blockquote>
