0.1 P. sazimai, 3"

Growth is coming along nicely, and she's finally starting to lose the "constantly scared sling" stage.
Mine are still very reclusive. Hoping that they relax a little and stay out more when they're adults.
 
@nicodimus22 How are you keeping them? Mine is in a strict burrowing setup. She spends most of her time underground, sure, but she doesn't scurry there at any disturbance.
 
They're in 3.5 inch acrylic cubes on firmly tamped Eco Earth. They have tube hides which they are always in during the day, and sometimes in at night. Bottle cap water dishes that I do see them drinking out of. They could burrow plenty if they wanted to, but they don't. Both just stay in the hides while it's light out.
 
@nicodimus22 I never provided a hide to mine. She's on 6" of substrate, and she's gone to the bottom and back. Perhaps remove the hides and give them a starter burrow. Just a thought.
 
@nicodimus22 My 7cm juvenile is out all the time & doesn't burrow at all. In fact her (I think) favourite hangout is on top of a piece of bark, right out in the open.
