    How many of you handle your T?

    rehousing/molt room requirements question

    If it's still eating I'd say go ahead and rehouse if you want. When I know one of my Ts is in premolt I will wait until it has molted and starts eating again.

    Question time! Share with me about the people who hate your love of invertabrates.
