I work at a petstore and I try to snag up one or two to take home to it now and then. I got a second opinion before I came and read your response, and he basically said the same thing, it's just probably wanting to molt. I have a moist side and a dry side for it, and I have caught it sitting on the moist side when I'd come home from work. The guy I called suggest making all of the substrate moist to try and help him out. I even tried to get it to crawl up on my finger, but it got nervous and covered its face and it was just so cute.</p></blockquote><p></p>
