My 1 year old A.Genic shed last Saturday, so I re-housed it from it's 8" x 4" sandwich box kept in the airing cupboard, to a proper 12" x 6" plastic vivarium with a ventilated top and sides, heat mat etc, now kept in my study next to the other spider tank.
Thing is, it has been fairly visible up until now, but it seems to have built a vermiculite barricade in the entrance to it's hide and doesn't come out at all, except obviously at night as the crickets keep disappearing?
I thought that Genics were pretty "showy" T's not prone to hiding, so my query is, have I re-housed it in too large a container with too open a top or is this normal behaviour for a young one?
