This would explain the small abdomen. I don't feed a T for 7 days after molting. Their fangs are the last to harden up, turning white to black. Also it may take it a couple of weeks to get accustomed to a new enclosure, which could explain the roaming and climbing. The constant drinking indicates dehydration to me, just keep the dish full. Try feeding again in a few days. Otherwise I think its OK, it knows what it needs and right now its not hungry.</blockquote>
