Our versicolor has been hiding in her burrow for two weeks now and has completely refused all food. We are really worried about her.. is she going to molt ? or is something else wrong? we are really worried.:(



in the bottom left hand corner you can see her burrow and outline of her body just left of the vine.

It could be anything, but more than likely a moult or a stressed T.
IMO I would reconsider the size of its enclosure.
At the least, test it in a smaller enclosure and if you aren't happy with the results, change it back. I used to have an a MF in a 25G and she was odd acting. I moved her into a 2.5 gallon and now she seems to have a personality about her.

its my boyfriends decision to keep her in a bigger cage. We feed her directly with the sweezers . We have a a. amazonica in the same size enclosure and she loves it in there. she makes burrows everywhere so di this lil girly until a month ago. She is due for a molt but it is taking forever
