Hey all I'm new to the forums and the hobby. Got my gbb 3 weeks ago as my first T and he's been pretty awesome (not sure of gender yet). Got him as a 1" sling and he's about 1.25"/1.5" at this point definitely growing pretty quick and his abdomen is getting pretty large.
He's been slowly getting faster and faster in his movement but I noticed today he was super bolty. Also, he started kind of frantically walking around his enclosure with very weird not very fluid movements (kind of restless I guess). He at one point kind of attacked a random piece of his substrate on the ground (which was kind of hilarious) but yeah he's been acting super weird today. His water dish was pretty much empty and I saw him go there a couple times so maybe he was just thirsty (I keep the substrate fairly dry for him) or hungry. I fed him a mealworm and he took it pretty aggressively (but that's usually the case). Now he's just kind of in his little corner munching on the worm which is I guess back to normal.
Not sure if maybe this is signs of preps for a molt or what, not too familiar with early signs other than I guess large abdomens. Still fairly new but enjoying the hobby and learning lots!
Anyways, here's a video I got of some of those movements I was talking about. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EY8SIMdVbHTIKnQSnM6s5sI-evvqOIVk/view?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance!
