It has been over three months since his last molt on March 01. I will be examining his exuvium to confirm my earlier examination of male. He is still relaxing from the molt so, I have not been able to measure yet. I am sure he is over 3" now. He never dug a full burrow, he simply dug a pit about 8cm in depth in the corner of his enclosure. When he was ready to molt he spun a hammock over the pit and sat in it to molt. Due to his position he appeared to be sitting upright. he molted without difficulty in this position.
