[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 51972, member: 3458"] That is great info and agrees pretty much with what I'd read. I've only had mine about 5 weeks (2nd/3rd instar) but like you I've not seen it since although I did find it's old exo at the other side of the container from its burrow. It began its burrow between the base of the plant and the cork bark and has gradually built quite a mound of substrate with a hole in the top but since it moulted a few days ago it has opened up a hole in the side of the mound too. When it comes to rehousing, I do mine inside another container, in fact an ExoTerra vivarium and empty the contents gently into a cricket tub or smaller container that fits inside the vivarium. I find this gives me a couple of safety measure to avoid losing the little ones. Once the T is visible I either gently nudge it into its new home or catch it in a catch cup and transfer it. I've never tried chilling them and I'm not sure I'd dare.
