Albo (Moe is mine, Larry is my son's) and the only way i've been able to see Moe since he arrived was when i rehoused him last week as his burrows started to colapse and i didn't want him to get crushed.  Yeah i know he would have been fine and dug his way out but it made me feel better. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  Larry has burrowed from the center of his enclosure straight to the bottom and has hollowed out almost half of the bottom of his enclosure.  Luckily his sub is holding shape well .  We only see him on feeding days and that's only if the lateralis roach is fast enough to get by him and down to the bottom of the enclosure.  He's a ferocious eater too, like it pissed him off he let the roach get by him lolThen the B. boehmei (Koby) always is in his hide also but he has dug the burrow to the side of the enclosure so he's easily seen.G. Rosea (Gram) doesn't hide, just sits out on the sub or cork bark and does nothing.  My little 1/4" pet rock lol  he doesn have a small burrow against the side of his inclosure but it's just deep enough for him to get below the surface.  C. cyanopubescens (Marley) has made a cool web tunnel in the corner under the fake leaves.  If you count that as hiding he's always hid <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  easy to see him thorugh the web and each end of his tunnel though.</blockquote>
