@0515H this morning, woke up early to try leave food outside the hide of Tartar. As I approached, the T seemingly materialized outside the hide, just in front of the barricade it erected from previous post. So I went and opened the lid, and the T disappeared again!

I was astonished so I inspected the hide with the red light and there is a small gap in the entrance. Therefore, the T did not erect a wall as I thought but made the entrance smaller. Its legs' tips are somewhat visible.

Then, I placed a mangled sand roach 3inches in front of the hide and planned to make a feeding video. Amazingly, the couple of seconds it took to get my phone, the T has dashed and took the roach back into the hide! I confirmed by using the red light to see inside the hide and saw the T with the roach tucked in its fangs. Man, Tartar can be fast!
