ohhh yay well thank you!!Your tarantula is tarantuling
They often go "screw your nice enclosure setup" and then rip up decorations or excavate or bury things, it's normal.
Oh okay, awesome. thanks!T's love to redecorate their homes, regardless of how long you spent getting it to look juuuust right. It's only the nature of our 8-legged charges to get a little creative!
Another note - not sure how much peat moss you're using, but a word of caution that it causes a bump in humidity, and GBBs are dry-loving species, so if you're using it to try and raise/retain humidity you may wanna remove it!
thank you for your help! yeah I saw owners talking about their Ts burying themselves XD I just got lucky then
haha! that's greatYour tarantula is tarantuling

thank you for letting me know
Post a picture of the setup .
Oh! sorry. I'll take a full picture in daylight tomorrow. I've only had it for 4 days so I have a pretty basic set up I'll show you tomorrow, but I think I'll be creating one like the youtuber The Dark Den made from a ferrero rocher box. any thoughts or suggestions on that?
Very cool Youtuber, he actually lurks these forums and makes an appearance every once in a while
How big is your spider? Unless it is a sling you should be keeping it on the dry side similar to this but with more anchor points for webbing than what I have for these ones that don't web as much.Very cool Youtuber, he actually lurks these forums and makes an appearance every once in a while
The Ferrero rocher box was really cool and could definitely work for a little while, though GBBs grow fast and it wouldn't surprise me if it outgrew the box pretty quickly. IIRC he did his setup vertical for an arboreal sling - just keep in mind if/when making it that GBBs are (more or less) terrestrial and you're gonna want to alter it horizontally so your little fella has more ground space. They're such an active species, mine has his entire deli cup webbed to high heaven.
I think you replied to the wrong personHow big is your spider? Unless it is a sling you should be keeping it on the dry side similar to this but with more anchor points for webbing than what I have for these ones that don't web as much.
But mine's about 1" and kept dry with a small cap for a water source, and has a plant root for anchor points that's been webbed up to high heaven and back.
Why do you need help? What behavioral expectations did you have of your GBB?

yeah in the current enclosure, it has webbed almost the entire thing! XD
