So everyone seems to be on the same page with enclosures that are "too big" stressing out Ts, potentially causing them to be more reclusive, etc., etc.
Is it possible that a "too big" enclosure can stress a T enough to the point where they won't molt? I.e. if they're in heavy premolt and should be molting but they don't feel safe enough to let their guard down? Can a T 'decide' not to molt, or will they reach a certain size and their body just has to go ahead and do it for the sake of not splitting at the seams regardless of the environment?
Reason for my asking is my GBB, the little @#&% still hasn't molted after laying down a mat and seeming to be about to flip over last week. I know his tank is a little too big for him but I haven't wanted to rehouse him since he's been in premolt but I'm now concerned that he just doesn't feel safe enough to just get the deed done. This little guy has me constantly worrying
