Hi Guys! thankf for the quick responses.
sorry i didn't mention it, its CM yeah.

He is renovating his entire home, there is almost no place for him to hide anymore >.<

Hi Guys!
Ive got a question.
I have a male Juvenile G.pulchripes.
the terrarium i have for him is 30x30x30.
lately he has been communicating with me that he doesn't like his home anymore. (climbing)
And i have been searching the net for a terrarium that is wider and bigger, but not higher...
Hallo, mijn naam is Bram Colenbrander ik ben 18 jaar oud en kom uit Arnhem.

Hi ive had a G.pulchripes for 9 months now and last week 31 of juli to be exact he molted, i found out he is a male and its all great.
now the advice i want to talk ask you guys is, i have cleaned and put new substrate in for him (cocofiber) and i leveled the ground a bit so he can burrow alot...
Hi, i have a G.pulchripes juvi, and he/she has been doing fine, its just that he/she recently started to burrow on the side of the terrarium causing his shelter(which is next to the wall) to sink away in the ground.
he has blocked his entrance off, and there is no way in now.
he keeps walking...
i am a very calm guy, but when i first learned about T's i went to a local pet store to see if they had any T's (just curious) they had one G.pulchra, the guy at the counter noticed my interest, and lifted the hollow rock so i could see the beauty.
all was fine in the world but even then i...
don't worry!
he is just stubborn..
(no i don't want to molt here, to much dirt!)
(brrrrr nope not here, to cold!)
he will molt when he has found the right spot :P
Gr Gio
T's lose their limbs on occasion and its mostly a natural occurance.
unless they have been teared off which i don't presume cause he/she molted they should regrow just fine.
they shut their *blood* stream off like valves and just deattach their leg.
it probably isn't anything to worry about...
i have 2 cats myself.
i made sure they can't open the glass terrarium by having the opening lid on the side, and you need to slide the heavy glass plate upwards in order to open it.
i also added a magnet lock, where you have to place a magnet against the glass in order for the metal plate to...
Hi guys, i have had my first T for about a month and a half by now, and yesterday ive noticed something strange.
he was busy walking around the enclosure, incredibly active, the most active ive seen him since i got him.
when i checked on him this morning he was hiding in his burrow, he digged...
i think T's remain unpredictable creatures and should therefore always be handled with care, he might be fuzzy and cute and slow walking one day, and the otherday he might want to rip your flesh off.
keep in mind this is my own opinion, i believe the T's are not getting used to being handled...
