nothing really new, but #2 is completely covered still and #3 is in his crater still but not fully covered.

#1 is dug in deep down below (about 6 inches laterally from where he started) and I can see him in a little gap in the sand through the window. Am planning to tape something against the glass to prevent any light from interrupting moulting.

Hi
The latest is that #2 has been active at night and digging back in during the day. He's up starting in the wee hours until about 8am. Still haven't seen the other two.

KayedeeLove<3, I did the insulation and it's doing a good job of maintaining the heat. Thanks for that suggestion.
