i just transfered my G.Rosea to a new penthouse terrarium and he seemed kinda unhappy with the soil i got for him. he danced over it and crawled up on a rock. It is a little wet but not soaked, and he should be ok. its regular potting soil with nothing fancy in it like fertalizer..

any ideas what is happening or am i just to paranoid??

Mine does not like water at all. I would let the substraight dry out and just have a water dish. They are from a very dry climate! My wife is from Chile and said it hardly ever rains where these guys come from.

Ya, all of mine have done the same thing when they go into a new container with moist substrate. Once the substrate dries out for a few day, your rosie should be back to normal.

Do you have any pics of its new house?
