Update!
I found the shed to my straight horn baboon right on the surface last night. I don't check on them but two or three times a week (I don't like disturbing them too much), but I would say it's a pretty fresh molt because its abdomen is still pretty tiny. All I had to do to get the baboon to come out was poke at its tunnel a few times.
The curly hairs HAD to have molted because they are at least twice as big now as they were. They have (had) mounds of dirt and web every where, and I was unable to find the molts. I wouldn't have dug through their substrate just to find molts, but I hadn't seen them for some time, and since this is my first time with T's I get a little nervous. I wanted to make sure they were still alive and doing well, so I opted to (gently) dig them up.
When I got the baboon to come out my reaction was like "Yeah, it is definitely growing," but when the first curly hair came out my reaction was more like "OMG!!! IT'S THREE TIMES BIGGER!!!!"
My suntiger is like NEVER outside of her den. The breeder that gave her to me said it may take a while before she emerges. I lifted the cork that her entrance is under and managed to get a shot of her abdomen. She has DEFINITELY been eating since I got her, she was freshly molted and very thin when she arrived. I'm happy to see all 4 of my new T's are doing well.
Now for the photos
