I am using coconut husk as a substrate and it's bit wet. Not drippy at all. How dry do they like?

That looks like a 10 gal tank. How big is your Rosea? How long has she been in it? I keep mine fairly dry for larger Ts but my little ones I keep moist to the touch not really damp. We maybe able to help a little more with some more details. She maybe getting ready to molt. Idk need more info.

Of course, actually I'd appreciated it. I recently posted regarding about it but ill repost here. So I got G.rosea about a week ago and this petco worker told me its 8-9months old but he lied. Some of the people from forum said it should be couple years old due to its size. Heres some image.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/a9yjugyg.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/uvu2u5ag.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/a8yry2ev.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/ru7u8ate.jpg

Everything I've read on rose hairs they like it bone dry with a water dish. I've looked them up a lot because I have one and I too stressed about it fasting, but like Mike said, they're notorious for it. Mine went a solid 2 years without eating and was fine, I offered every other week. He finally molted and started to eat.

We love pictures!

If it has a screen lid, I would just let it dry out on its own. So you are not moving her in and out. Maybe pill up a little hill of dry substrate for her to sit on.

Molt or dead?? I'm staying away from that genus until these guys get some size. Seems like they're bad luck

Dead, I have no idea what happen. They were both doing really good. The other one seems fine.
