Well, I HAD to be sure...
I must say, that this T acts like it hasn't lived in this critterkeeper for six months. It wants OUT. I think by adding substrate, I either messed up its world, orrrrrrr...by giving it WATER, I brought it back to life...It is alllllll over the place, up n down, back n forth...I took the lid off for the pictures and it wasted NO time getting the heck out of there....

ANd yup, there is purple on it...just didnt show up very well in the picture.

It looks like the new substrate you added is wet/damp. Rosies hate to get their feet wet. Once the cage dries out she'll settle down or give her something dry to climb and stand on/in.

 

[Static_69]

congrats! your rosie is not a pet rock..haha

[rapunzel]

well I suddenly feel pretty dumb..

I guess I should give it a hide so that it can be a pet rock, huh? LOL!

I didnt even think about it. My other ones are all pet dirt..hiding UNDERground, except the avics. The g. pulchra has made herself a secluded hideaway too.

Hmm, now I wonder though..for the past six months she has not had a hiding spot. ANd the substrate was so thin, she could never have burrowed. Do they burrow?

it isnt wet...

it is DAMP though. I didn't want to just put it in dry...what an idiot I am, now it is probably miserable.

Its not a big deal, she'll calm down when it dries. Rosies are perfectly happy on dry substrate as long as they have a waterdish with a constant supply of fresh water. If you have to just cover up alot of the ventilation holes after the substrate dries to help the waterdish keep the ambiant air in the cage humid but everything else dry. Rosies come from a desert but are treated to mist and fog banks that roll off the pacific ocean even though they don't see much rain.

My A. chalcodes did the same when I put it in a new keeper. It hated the wet substrate and just hung on the walls. When they substrate dried a bit, it went into construction and became an earth mover.

I freaked out when I got my rosie which was my first T and it just ran around and wouldn't come down off the walls. I did all kinds of reading and I hadn't seen that behavior described anywhere except for with adult males eager to mate. I thought the poor thing was suffering or scared. I turned off all the speakers on my surround sound system except for one and kept all the lights off thinking it may have been one of those being the culprit ...LOL :?

Thats not just a rosie, its a free rosie..
How can ya beat that ? Every T keeper needs at least two.
Maybe it'll molt out male and you can try to breed it to your female. Yeah, thats the ticket. Breed it to your female.:}
