This picture was probably the last time I saw mine. Pet holes!

Cobalt Blues are called obligate burrowers which basically means they make a large burrow in the substrate and the most you'll see of them is the occasional leg sticking out.

It's like having a pet hole...haha. It's too bad, as this is a beautiful species

Yeah I haven't seen anything but a leg sticking out when I fed mine. I imagine I won't see much else except when I transfer them to their new homes when they get a bit bigger in a few months, maybe if I'm lucky at night I'll catch one come out for a drink or come out a bit more for a feeding. We'll see :)
