Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrokenRay" data-source="post: 162849" data-attributes="member: 31237">I have a 2 in. Honduran T. albopilosum juvenile and he, (I'm using that loosely, not sexed yet) stays out of his burrow most of the day. Substrate is fresh, (coco fiber), I always keep his water dish full and overflow it once to twice a week. He's getting just a little darker so hopefully a molt is coming in 2 weeks not sure. He just ate yesterday on the 18th. He stays on one part of the enclosure wall no where else. So to test if something is bothering him in his enclosure I turned the enclosure 180 degrees to see if he stays in the same spot. Nope he moved to the same spot like if the enclosure wasn't moved. I figured he would spend more time in his burrow but this little guy loves coming out and staying out.I do not bother him at all only to feed him and clean his water bowl and refill & overflow. Any ideas? Is this just typical behavior from a 2 in. juvenile T. albopilosum? I have no idea.</blockquote>
