    He will, don't worry!! He just needs to get used to you. After all, you are some giant, alien looking thing!

    Maybe he is just being shy and molting, I know mine is a lot more shy right after a molt... good luck! I hope he's ok!

    Yeah he's shhhhhyy! I noticed 2 little peepers peepin at me from the tube. He did finally come and tear off a chunk of shrimp. Looks like he may have grown a bit but hard to say with the curved glass. He looks good just wish I saw more of him. :)

    Yeah I can't imagine how bad I look through the inside of a curved glass. I'd probably be scared too LOL ;D

    I'm not worried about if he's alive or not anymore. Just wish I'd see more of him is all. :)

    Yay! That makes me happy! He is still fairly new really, I'm sure with time (and size) he will get braver... good news!

    I can see him pretty good right now. He has a chunk of shrimp he's working over right outside the tube but under a rock. He's obviously molted at sometime because his color is now a light mottled green. And I'm pretty sure he's a little longer/bulkier now as well. He has a new raptor too. Pics would be impossible though.
