Didnt know at the time but hence I looked it up did some research and was quite content. My daughter named it Lemon. Now Lemon did everything possible not to make his or herself known from day 1. Burrowed into the substrate and made a little moss nest with some webbing. Lemon preferred prekilled taking it into the burrow at night. I was kind of thinking well "I wish he/she would just come out more, this is a boring little fuzz butt".So about 3 weeks ago I was watering all the Ts and I decided to do it on the kitchen counter. Rehydrated everyone and went about my day. The next day I finished up the dishes and was proceeding to wipe down the counter grabbing the moist dish towel. Low and behold I see a pair of little black legs pop out. Yes it was Lemon. I immediately put the little guy back in its container. He was completely soaked.Kind of panicked thinking little dudes not going to make it. Checked after a couple hours and Lemon didnt burrow but was walking around and active. The next day same thing. Well Lemon molted a couple day later. Now sits at the top of her moss nest and takes full live mealies down without a hitch. Lemon went on one of those little life treks reevaluated him/herself and made some changes.Since then I acquired another T albo,we named it Lime. I love these guys. But just a warning and it obvious,watch everything. I had no clue she crawled out of the container. I was lucky Lemon didnt die, or is still wandering around my place. So OWs not on my list yet.</blockquote>
