He's definitely a showstopper. I just wish he wasn't so skittish and I could get better lighting on him more often. Now to decide if we keep him as comfortable as possible for the remainder of his life or find himself a girlfriend. I think my son wants to keep him, but we'll see. I also think I saw little hooks on the Avic Avic so he might need to find a girlfriend soon too.Wow tiger is gorgeous!!! Those collrs are striking
Was her previous enclosure quite a bit drier?Well, I knew she was in premolt and that a rehouse might encourage her to get it done, but I didn't know she would molt the next day!

Here's what she looked like last night...

Hagatha got a rehouse yesterday. She's due for a molt soon, but still looks pretty!
On the surface, yes, but in her burrow it was damp. The only reason I rehoused her after 3 years in that enclosure was because the last time I fed her, she dragged a big male Dubia roach all the way to the end of her burrow, killed it, then didn't eat it... I was sure she'd toss it, but instead she left it there to rot and it was getting stinky and inviting flies. I'm sure the fresh, moist sub helped, though. Her last molt was 2 years and 6 days ago.Was her previous enclosure quite a bit drier?
