G.Porteri

I got her/him in January and has been in the same enclosure since but just recently it's been wandering non stop trying to climb... It's not a MM, also the abdomen is kinda small, strange as it eats reasonably well for this species.. Any ideas peeps?
Setup looks fine and abdomen looks quite healthy IMHO.

I had a G. Porteri that ate like a tank and its abdomen wasnt much bigger.

Looks like it isnt shrivelled either. Looks healthy to me.
 
@KezyGLA It's just that my other T's show clear abdominal growth after a meal but this doesn't lol... It's more the sudden pacing about that has me thinking somethings up... Perhaps I worry too much :/ :)
 
As you said it was beginning to wandering, witch lead me too that MM does that to look out for the females.
The setup looks fine as @KezyGLA said, but i would recommend you to put on some more substrate, so it dont get hurt from falling when climbing.:) And the T looks healthy too.
 
This species are known for have a weird behavior and the rosea as well. I would not worry too much about it. :)
 
@louise f I'm already on the case as that's the first thing I thought when it started to go up the sides... I've baked it and I'm just waiting till its bone dry... :)
