Thanks again. We actually are realizing we need to reassess the enclosure because he keeps climbing to the top and the vents on the ExoTerra only let us add so much substrate, so we are getting a longer, shorter terrarium for terrestrials. :)
Don't be surprised if it molts soon.

Judging by the size of that abdomen you have nothing to worry about even if it does not eat for months.

You definitely need a better enclosure. There should not be a lot of space between the substrate and the top for a terrestrial spp.

He was busy last night (his first night in his new home) webbing all over and further digging his burrow. This afternoon he came out for a little bit and then dragged substrate to cover the entrance of his burrow. He did eat yesterday. Do they sometimes behave like that before molting? Thanks!
