I have a 6th instar female Parabuthus villosus black. Her setup is decent, I prepared it according to the directions here and she seemed happy. However, about three weeks ago she burrowed. She was digging burrows all the time and there are many underground tunnels but this time she blocked the access completely and did not come out for three weeks.
Now , knowing how fat she is, I assume she is getting ready to molt but all that sand/clay on top of her with no visible exit kind of scares me. I know she is alive as she moves slightly from day to day as she is visible from the bottom of the glass enclosure but since she hasn`t had any fluids at all since the burrowing, directly or indirectly, makes me a bit worried.
What do you guys think? Should I just leave her be or should I dig her out?
