Jeff you need to watch your Ts abdomen size and body position. Head first facing down is almost a guarantee it's in hunting mode.

If your doing inverted boxes just throw a couple live crix in the bottom. Notice the live crix, T was head down.

Okay. Thanks.
Most of the time my two Avic's are on top of the cork bark pointed sideways where part of their web is located. Perhaps I should have installed the bark so they could not go above it. I guess I did this because I was figuring a stable nest location would be needed in case they molt in their nest at some point. I went ahead and placed two live crickets in each one's base area.

Predicting where they will molt is never a winning bet, they will engineer what and how they need things to be hah.

Inverted setups is all I use for my Avicularia slings. Not bashing OP. It is something I had to get used to but is actually much better with Avicularia who tend to web as high as possible in the enclosure.

i attached the cork via a screw through the top of the enclosure. (Technically the bottom of the tub)
