So everything I have read suggests its perfectly normal for my Nhandu Chromatus sling to burrow. He is a busy bee too. Elaborate tunnel system he had going. I also read its not uncommon for them to bury themselves in these tunnels when they molt. Pretty sure that is what mine is up to. He normally keeps his tunnels open and clear but he has buried all the entrances and if you look up through the bottom of his enclosure you can see him in this cavern he has made in the center at the bottom. Normally he hangs out in his cave during the day and sits patient at his door in the evening waiting for me to drop things in. Occasionally even sits on top of the original wood that was his hide.
My big question is... what will happen to his molt? Will he kick it out? Do i need to go fishing for it eventually to prevent rot? Also how long is average molt time? My Avicularia molts so fast I never have time to catch it. One moment shes just hanging out and the next there is a molt sitting there. I'm pretty sure the Nhandu is in the middle of molt right now, normally he moves at the slightest movement of his cage. He's motionless in his cavern right now. Trying to gauge at what point i should worry about him.
