Nothing to worry about: it takes some days for the T to get used to the new enclosure. As it is a rosea, keep the substrate dry (and provide with a water dish). I assume your substrate is a good one. Then... you just have to wait!

I had this my G.Porteri before. The substrate might be too moist/wet. Sometimes it's better to let the substrate dry out for a couple of days in an open container before you put it straight into the enclosure for some species.
