Hey,

My G. Porteri molted a week ago and I am concerned as to her behaviour.

I know the molting process can take a lot out of them so they rest after, but all she's done is literally hunch up in the corner of her enclosure, lying flat on the substrate... It's cute, but I'm wondering if this is normal, unlike before pre-molt she would roam her house and sit on her rock gazing out at the world.

I tried feeding last night and all she did was run out on to my hand, i returned her to the enclosure and she just hunched up and lay down again, same spot too.

This is the biggest T I have so I'm reaching out for some advice. Cheers! WP_20140523_005.jpg

Thank you :) she's lush. Hopefully she will go back to her usual ways of being the great wanderer and queen of pride rock lol.
