Message: <blockquote data-quote="8leggedfreak" data-source="post: 3099" data-attributes="member: 398"><p>I have a H. lividum I purchased about 3 weeks ago, I rehoused her from her deli cup into a 10 gallon with roughly 7inches of coco fiber substrate hoping she would burrow but all she does is cringe up in the back corner or her tank. She rarely ever moves around except when she hangs on the tank glass. I started a hole for her in the substrate. Cage, temp, humidity is all good and checked out. I was just really hoping to see her do her natural thing and burrow. There is absolutely no chance of picking up this evil thing so I'm just wondering if shes just going to be a pretty couch potatoe to just look at or if she might need more time to settle in? Thanks guys!</p></blockquote><p></p>
