[QUOTE="kaeuri, post: 177706, member: 33159"] First off: I’m so sorry about a third ‘new owner post’ ! I’ll try to post a little less but I figure better safe than sorry especially since I tend to be an anxious with a new pet So Saturday, the 25th I decided to try to feed her (my T Albo) again, since the last time she ate was at the hobby store Weds, the 16th and she denied it Weds the 23rd. I’ve had her officially for a week and a lil extra, so i refilled her water dish and put a little extra super dry substrate ontop of her substrate which seemed to be a little damp compared to normal. She recently dug a tiny hole in the corner of the enclosure and doing all this care put her back into a stress curl. I figured it was all this extra work that put her into this position which of course i felt bad because she was just getting use to the enclosure: webbing like crazy and such. But it’s now Monday, 27th and she’s still in that position (with an exception for a maybe an hour. I have no idea why she went back into her little dig hole.) I’m not sure why she would still be in that position, is it possible all that movement would still cause her to take this position? Could it be too much moisture in the tank? (She’s in a very warm room, I figured since I can’t stand in there comfortably I turn the AC on in for 30 minutes until I find it comfortable in there and that can cause condensation at the bottom of the tank) I bought her another plant that could hide her better but I don’t know if I should put it in and add extra stress :( I want to say she was completely fine beforehand and was webbing and everything after the rehousing stress wore off. I will provide pictures. Currently at work so Will respond ASAP. thank you guys so much for dealing with my new owner posts, i do feel bad ![ATTACH type="full"]48020[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]48021[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]48020[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]48021[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
