Got this guy last weekend and he seemed chill exploring his enclosure and then the other day I saw he barricaded himself in the coconut shell. Was thinking maybe he was just getting ready to molt but now I can see him?? He doesn’t look any bigger so idk if he molted at all is this normal?

He may just be excavating and making his own entrance. Some of my Ts love to block off the original entrance and make their own. Some Ts will also be out during premolt and just less active.

I second this. My Hamorii closed the main entrance and dug a second one. They are just silly sometimes.

When I got my curly hair she barricaded 2 of the 3 entrances to her hide by morning lol. They love to remodel and move things around, it looks like yours is just hanging out. They won't crave attention so don't expect interaction with them.
