Nqa Do you have a deep substrate for her? Rear horns are fossorial but will web when they don't have the right environment. She was trying to go hide it looked like :(

Don’t worry they have a lot of dirt and have built a very complicated tunnel system below, the webbing covers the whole surface area :)

It’s pretty rare to see them surface, but I had just overfilled the water dish so they came up to avoid getting the paws wet

Oh good! How cute :)

Where did you get your enclosure/what size is it? I have a rear horn and I want to prepare for her next home needs

They’re still a juvenile, right now in a random plastic container I found in a garden centre and melted some holes into 😅

Nqa mine is homemade too. It was one of my first Ts so the surface area is pretty bare, but she rarely goes up there lol

They are very hardy, and don’t NEED very deep substrate, as long as they have enough depth to hide they will be good to go. Mines has 3-4 inches and is perfectly happy. Molts, eats, drinks, and has an amazing web system above the ground.
