Some of my new ones would wall themselves in like that until they figure out whats going on. I've had them stay there for 1 month or more. Never molted, just wanted to feel safe I guess. A lot of people say theirs do that when they molt. For some reason all mine have always molted right out in the open. I made a video of my G. porteri from the time he flipped over till he was done. Hope you get to see one molt someday, it is amazing to watch.</p></blockquote><p></p>
