Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve and Alicia" data-source="post: 26718" data-attributes="member: 1003">My Rose Hair T and my True Zebra T both blocked off the entrances to their hides.  I don't think it's to hot for my Rose hair because she leans into the side of her tank whenever I turn the heat lamp on.  I can't say the same for my true zebra because I cant see her, so I switched the side that her heat lamp is on.  The temps in my tanks are in the mid to high 70s. I hope their just getting ready to molt. I know my Rosey is over due for one because she hasn't molted once since I got her a year ago. Further more she hasn't ate anything for almost the whole year I've had her.  What's your thoughts on this?One last question, I bought my True Zebra about a month ago because I felt bad for her due to her living conditions at petco. She obviously had a bad moult because her exoskeleton looked weird or off to me and it appeared to me that she is sick. Her abdomen barely had any hair on it. It didn't look like the usual bald patches from kicking hairs or being stretched out due to premolt. Her abdomen looks a bit leathery and I wonder if this will go away after she molts or if there is something really wrong with her. Btw there is nothing wrong with humidity levels, heat, or substrate.  Like I said I keep the temps in the mid 70's I mist her cage once a day and I use eco earth substrate.</blockquote>
