For example, my new T. radix are active from pretty much first thing in the morning until early afternoon, whether they're hungry or just been fed, makes no difference. That just seems to be their active time. Whereas my T. marcianus seem to be rather crepuscular, and are pretty quiet all day until about 9 or 10pm when they all go cruising their viv for an hour or so. Again, whether they're hungry or not.

Anybody else seen these differences in periods of activity?
My T. vagans is active at such random times, when its dark, when its light, at night in the day who knows. Gonna put in a heat lamp for a few hours a day see if that changes the activity! (Although always active when food is around)
