Who said G. pulchra have attitude? Like just about all Grammostola, they're pretty much a pet rock most of the time.

Very pretty, though.

Your T needs a new home, that container is not suitable for it to thrive.

What @viper69 said: Please give your tarantula a proper enclosure. This is just sad.
Do we know that this is not just a container?

If I take pictures, the tarantula is usually not in their normal environment. They are on a wood board or on my carpet. It looks like an attempted enclosure, sure. Dirt and a backdrop to make a display. But we don't know that it's not just a container. Looks quite similar to what the entomology lab had in college for (temporarily) displaying specimens.

Hip-up pose
Why do you act that way?
Your G. pulchra needs a bigger house with more substrate, a place to hide, and a water dish. It is probably in that pose because it doesn’t like its current conditions.

Does this help?

I think he is asking why the T is standing that way. He's unsure of what the position or posture of the tarantula means.

Looks like a feeding stance to me.

But I agree with everyone else, if that is infact it's permanent enclosure....needs a better set up

당신의 G. pulchra는 더 많은 기질, 숨길 곳, 물 요리가있는 커다란 집이 필요합니다. 현재 상태가 마음에 들지 않기 때문에 아마도 그 자세에있을 것입니다.

That pose looks like it was taken during or immediately after some hair kicking. Facing the wall with butt up. That’s all I can think of.

Good point, just an assumption for now.

I hope my reply wasn’t too assumptive. When asked if that was the G. pulchra’s home in the photo, the OP replied “House” which I took to mean “yes.” But that was another assumption. :rolleyes: Hope he comes back but I think we did scare him. :clown:
