[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 31533, member: 1152"] It definitely could. And no...it won't starve itself. I've had many species exhibit this behavior as slings, and in all cases, the T has eventually emerged sporting a new suit. I had a L. parahybana sling bury itself for over two months and an M. balfouri juvenile that disappeared for close to four months. They know what they're doing, and you have to figure that, in the wild, closing off the den keeps them from being bothered or attacked while molting. :) I've grown to like when species do this, as I immediately know not to offer food for a bit until the den entrance has been reopened.
