First time moult???

Post by LizzyH. » Tue May 28, 2024 3:20 pm

8) Hi everyone! I just got my first 2 hermies this past Saturday and they were doing great, a little shy at first but they finally perked up after about 24 hours. I currently have them in a temporary 10 gallon tank with the correct heating and humidity conditions as well as about 4-5 inches of substrate (play sand and eco earth) until I purchase a bigger tank. They spent all day yesterday soaking in their water pools and now have buried themselves shells and all. Is this their first molt? Or is it possible this is just stress and they will come up in a day or two?
