I just recently rehoused my P. regalis and all week, she's been "redecorating". She's been digging out her burrow and getting it just right. Just this morning, I was debating whether I should feed her but decided against it because her abdomen was large enough (but not too large). A few hours later, I noticed rather than throwing her dirt out like she had been, she was building a cap over her bark burrow! My previous H. mac did the same when it molted and so did this one the last time it did.

In her new digs

Her last molt was on Aug 21; that was only 3 weeks ago! There's no way she could be ready to molt again, could she?

Bout 3". I'm stoked that she might be in premolt but I find it hard to believe

She may just me redecorating her new home. It looks really sweet by the way.
