Seems to be adjusting well. Didn't scream at me this time when I dug him/her up for a soak !! Was eating from tongs, but has decided that it likes me to leave a worm chunk infront of it so it can eat privately now Lol! Likes chunks of Night Crawler and usually eats 2 to 3 one inch pieces per night.It actually hopped around its keeper for a couple minutes last night for the first time. Even eats after being handled so that's a good sign of adjusting.
The aurita does behave differently than the other species in terms of how it burrows. It creates a trail like a trench to it's burrow and sits in with it's hands infront of its face like gaurding the entrance. Hunkers down really low in defence with arms outstretched kind of like an Ornata which they are very closely related to. How the aurita sits in its burrow is the main behavior difference I've noticed. I'm surr I'll see some more differences as it adjusts further and matures
