I got two G. Pulchra slings awhile back and had read that they can/do burrow but I'm still amazed at their ability to bulldoze substrate and burrow. One of my slings decided to remove itself from display and burrow under it's hide. Three weeks went by no sign of it nor it being out. No hole for entrance or exit. I decided to check on it and was surprised at what I saw. It had a self made cavern size burrow under there..lol. There's enough room for a bunch of 1 inch slings to go in there! The substrate is loose not packed so this also amazes me how it gets the substrate to not fall back in the burrow. I have named it Agent Underground. I just hope the 24/7 escavating underground isn't going to be a life long thing.
My other G. pulchra sling prefers to be out in the open. It has bulldozed some substrate but that is all. Molted out in the open the other day. The first one mentioned molted in a hide a day after I got it and then went underground to this day.
What's the typical behavior of the G. pulchra after it reaches 2 inches and up? Do they still burrow deep underground to never be seen?
