Rocks spends all his time in his warm moist hide. He only goes to his cool hide when I take out his moist to wet the paper towel again. I have yet to see any signs of shedding and it has been a month since we got him. He has grown and gained weight. He also eats like a piggy and poopies are normal. I only see him during feeding time and a little while after that. I think the little pig is checking for more. HE eats 4-5 giant meal worms a night. Not supers but giants. Is all this normal?

Yep. The general rule of thumb with reptiles is that if they're eating that things are probably fine. My geckos like to hang out in their warm moist hides as well, probably because it mimics the rodent burrows they tend to occupy in the wild. Sounds like there's nothing to worry about.

If he is getting bigger then he's shedding. It only takes them 30 min or less to shed and the do usually eat it so you may not catch it very much unless he is like mine and loves to lay out. One way to tell is to watch for it to have a whitish look to it thats when it's getting ready and when you notice he looks brighter in color that is usually right after a shed
