T VAGANS sling burried itself

[longlegs666]

Hello friends! First time sling owner. Got this guy from the pet store cuz i saw they gave him basically no substrate and no water dish. The minute I got him in a deeper container (he had .5 inches at pet store and I gave him 4 inches) it took him only 10 hours to burrow under the cork bark and seal it up. I know not to disturb them... but it's been over a month. He looked fat af so not super worried but can anyone tell from these pics/vids if he was getting close to premolt? Gonna start leaving pre-killed crickets every night just to see if he is actually coming out at night. These slings are hardy but I still worry! I have a bold jumper and juvenil Aphonopelma seemanni also! Thanks for looking!
