Donttttttttttttttttttttt stick your handdddddddddddddddd innnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!! At least not until something is actively eating that sucker!!!

 

I thought you were about to say you broke it...again

I'm glad he is alive. My GF does the same thing. She loves the hobby, but doesn't understand a lot of how animals react and some of the acclimation processes. Her interest makes life easier, but if I am away I get about 15 calls a day..

 

LOL duely noted! I didn't want him to go back to the rocks while I was putting the two back in so was keeping him at bay with a net handle. He popped it twice and I could feel it thru the handle.
I'm done messing with him. I'd feel horrible if he survived 2 days in the hands of the USPS only to be stressed to death by me.

 

LOL Yeah my wife is the same. The first critter in my DT was my CBS. He molted two or three days after I got him. I get a call at 10 am cuz he 'was dead' and 'stuck to the 'pump' (Powerhead) LOL

 

Hey hey be gentle now we only freak out due to either genuine concern or we just don't want to be blamed... haha it depends on the circumstances

 

oh and glad the little guy is doing well hopefully his little appendages grow back pretty quickly, but very pretty or should I say handsome creature? haha

 

LOL I didn't laugh at her or anything..well not where she could hear it anyway Don't want her to NOT call if something was seriously wrong.

 

So if I don't mess with him and just leave him be to get adjusted should I still cycle the light for him? How many days should I go without seeing a trace of him before I tear rock apart looking again?

I haven't seen him since he bailed behind the rock work the second time. But I actually refrained from shining a light in there for 6 hours.

 

Sweet. I was gonna head to bed and shined the light behind the rocks one more time and I see these stalks staring back at me from behind the pvc. He's dug a dish out under the pipe and is very much alive.
I think it's funny how he does a somersault to turn around lol.

 

That's awesome, man! Maybe in the future I can get one too! They sound like tons of fun.
So, did bucky molted then? Is that what you saw when you thought it was dead?
