Rosea named Harrison (Harry) Bottom and I suspect he is in premolt. He has not eaten for 15 days and his darkened abdomen hasn't shrunk. He has refused food, including the cricket in the picture. A slightly smaller cricket that entered his den days earlier, he simply booted out of the hide. In recent days he has blocked off one end of the hide that I used to check on him through, although in the past he had spend very little time inside. My other three Ts have all been secretive and spent weeks/ months hold up underground with the molt appearing outside eventually.</blockquote>
