Since having my B. albo I haven't found one bolus. Check it's hide, water dish, in the plant and all looks clean. I had a look around and found that some T's eat everything so assumed it was doing the same. Then today I get home and check on him and notice little white spots by some moss. Turns out its been burying its leftovers underneath a big bit of webbed up sphagnum moss! Only saw it because the white showed through the gaps. I assume the white stuff is mold? All removed now though.
I have noticed it going to the corner where the moss is and moving it's front legs but never checked what was going on. Sneaky little thing...
Also I think I got a mean one! As I was digging up the moss he turns and comes straight for the tongs from other side of the cage. Fed it last night so doubt it was just a feeding response! Plus when checking if it could be handled it was striking at the brush after a couple gentle prods so none of my fingers are going near it!
NOTE - I know many of you guys are against handling and I have already had "the talk" from a few of you. I know the risks for me and the T and am not looking for more lectures on the subject.
