So a few of you may have seen a few days ago I made a post about how I got a breeding pair of P. regalis in the mail. Literally minutes after unboxing the male was acting odd. Trouble climbing, pretty lethargic, usual pokie premolt. He's also very dull, so he's most definitely in premolt. He also isn't mature just yet so it's nothing like that thankfully. The female however was VERY active immediately. They are both in temporary tote enclosures, definitely not fit for pokies. No tube bark or anything like that as I'm waiting for some parts in the mail that unfortunately didn't happen to luckily get here at the same time as them. The female is now acting very similar. The seller told me that she was nearing her premolt because her colors were dulling (this I can confirm). They're both on the ground of their enclosures, is a lazy pokie pose, in the corners. Is it pretty safe to say that they're just both getting ready to molt? They haven't been doing any webbing aside from small amounts on the ground (the little invisible carpets that Ts tend to do) so I'm a little worried that the mildly unsuitable environment might cause some issues with their molting procedure. I will point out that they DO have places to hide, just not the typical pokie setup.
Side thought, should I try to just go ahead and makeshift their permanent enclosure with parts that I can buy from the store? (I was being a little picky when I ordered the pieces because I didn't want to use metal hinges I wanted to use acrylic ones, so it's not completely necessary to wait for them) Or should I just let them be, and not risk bothering them more and messing anything up?
