My 3" G.rosea spent 12 full days in her log hide with moss pulled up in front of the entrance so I couldn't see her. I thought for sure she was molting, but she emerged today unmolted. Weird... Maybe she just came out to get a drink? I've had her 6 months and this is the first potential molt I've witnessed. What do you think?:?

Honestly sounds like normal behaviour....still could be gearing up for a molt tho...keep the water dish topped up, and play the waiting game!

My G. rosea is typically active, but in the winter, she will spend the whole month of January in her hide. G. rosea wont TYPICALLY spend long periods of time in there hide, but if they do, its nothing to worry about, it happens, and its normal.
