Message: <blockquote data-quote="DustyD" data-source="post: 195624" data-attributes="member: 36911">Congrats! I received a G. pulchra about the same size last week. My second T in about 3 weeks. I look forward to watching it grow. At that size, they can be a bit shy, others have reported.  Mine went straight for its hide and I have not seen it since. A cricket went into the hide last Friday and I accidentally found  it a few days later on the other side of the hide (that I suspect was  excavated earlier by the T. It had been coverered by moss.I have read that hiding  can happen for a number of reasons, including for a sense of security, privacy, pre-molting/ molting.I had been tempted to lift up the cork bark and peer in, but I resisted so as not to stress the little guy or gal.</blockquote>
