They have both been decking out their enclosures . And the OBT molted before we rehoused her, and the RHB has yet to molt since we've gotten her. Her belly looks like she's ready tho... She hasn't taken food in about a week, just waiting for her to go into her den and molt. . . Now I may just be over thinking it...but she's been spending A LOT of time at the top of her enclosure, is that bad?. . . Temps between 75- low 80s and humidity around 50-60 ambient from being located in a plant room. Water dish is kept full, and no misting. . .  She worked hard to make her lil home. Also excavated a TON to the bottom of the enclosure and kept going lol. She has webbed a ton at the top where she hangs out .. so maybe it's not a concern and she just likes being there .. but as with all my pets, I'm always very worried for their wellbeing. Which has led me here to get some opinions from folks with MUCH more experience than me... Should I drill a few holes down near the substrate ? Wish it had side vents on other upper half of the walls like my OBTs enclosure, but alas it does not .. would hate to re-home her after she's done all this work, but I will do what's best for her..... Thanks all</p></blockquote><p></p>
