[QUOTE="Fuzzball79, post: 38879, member: 3190"] Hi Sym, How big is she? My B. Boehmei behaved similar to this prior to its last molt. It dug in not long after I got it to hide for over a month. When it reappeared I put a bottle cap hide into its tub and it was in there all the time other than for feeding. It then sealed it off bar one peep hole in the back, stayed in there for another month and eventually molted. I've had it since last August and it's molted twice, which I think is not too bad for a Brachy, lol. On the other hand I did get quite frustrated about hardly ever seeing it, due to its long premolt phases. Since I've rehoused it into a bigger tub and now it's about >1" LS it seems a lot less shy. It's not used the bottle cap hide since and is always out and about. It's eating fine (apart from being a bit slow and not the best hunter, lol), so assume it is simply more confident. Brachies simply seem to be a lot shyer and more skittish as slings and I suppose they don't like light too much neither. I've heard it from a lot of keepers that their Bs spent their first couple of months more or less as pet holes. [/QUOTE]
