G. rosea rehoused and getting comfortable

[octanejunkie]

We rehoused it almost 2 weeks ago and today I notice it webbing - butt in water dish

Tried to get a video but it stopped as soon as I put the light on and I can't post .mp4 files

I thought we were able to use Tapatalk to post...

The webbing shows up really good in the photo. To my imagination it looks like her butt starting smoking after all that webbing and she dunked it in the dish to cool it off lol

 

[octanejunkie]

Lol @Jess S smokey butt

The T has been in the same position since yesterday.

I just "brushed" it with the soft end of a paintbrush, no movement.

Lifted one leg, it responded slightly, but not much.

Wonder what's going on for this guy/gal?

I bet it's going to molt in that water dish...seen it 1000 times before.

I've been waiting for it to turn itself over for literally days, then yesterday webbing, now frozen in place
Time will tell I guess

 

[octanejunkie]

Well, between my last post and now this little **** flipped itself over, in it's water dish, just as @Arachnoclown predicted

I would like to have seen it pivot on it's butt to get to its current position

Look forward to seeing this little sod after it moults

I'm hoping it didn't pick it's water dish to molt in because it's dehydrated af, so with any luck I'll have pics tomorrow

I doubt it like @Arachnoclown said before Ts moulting in there water is pretty common.
I guess quite a few of us have had several Ts do it..
@Enn49 often has Ts doing this and has caught them in the act

Nah...its not dehydrated. They do it all the time. I see 2 or 3 a month do this in my collection.
