So I recently rehoused my juvie p irminia (7/17) and since then he has dug a hole, made a cave and blocked himself off completely. I can see him from the back of his enclosure and he is moving sometimes, but I was wondering, if it is in premolt, at a size of abt 2', how long should premolt last? Just a little backround info: t was purchased at reptile expo 5/15, molted on or abt 6/15, and is "powrfed" once daily, occasionally skipping a day if prey isn't consumed within a few hours. I'm keeping the sub nice and moist (not soggy damp) and I haven't yet put a water dish in because of its dissapearing act. Lastly, the day he was moved and in its new enclosure he did voraceously(sp) devour its cricket dinner like always. (Last day fed)
Is there anything eslse that I can do to make my t more comfortable so a) it comes out of its sealed off cave and acts like a arboreal or b) finishes up molting and then comes out of its hole and acts like a arboreal.
I should also say that from what I can see now, and from what was observed 7/17 its coloration was more grey than black esp on the opisthosoma.
Thanks!!
