N.Tripeppi Question (Kenny)

[Kurt Nelson]

Lol's yeah you Kenny,

So I got this N.Tripeppi about two months ago, it ate once and has been burrowed for about 2 months lol. I seriously thought it all collapsed in so I had to go looking for it. The vial didn't smell like death so I should have just left it. Anyways, it wasn't dead. But when I looked at it, it looks like it's in pre molt and it had molted in it's burrow. It had never resurfaced to eat after it's last molt. Or do they just all have black bums all the time?

That's normal. The black butt isn't really reliable until they're a little bigger.

Yeah I assumed it was just starting to show hairs and whatnot. I still shouldn't have went looking for it! Though the burrows had collapsed and it was in a little tiny pocket. Still healthy as a whistle though!
