Hey there everyone, I'm new to this hobby, and got my first Aphonopelma Chalcodes about 2 days ago. I'm unsure if this information is at all crucial to my question, but when I first got her the pet store's Tarantula Specialist told me he had just fed her.
Now, since putting her in the encloser I noticed her roaming/exploring her new home for probably 3-4 hours. But since then she has been practically motionless on top of the back corner of the enclosure. Not gonna lie, I'm a bit hurt that she didn't even try to go in the little burrow I started for her, especially considering most of the information I could find said that Aphonopelma Chalcodes often live in burrows, and are opportunist's, taking advantage of abandoned holes left by other creatures.
Is this a typical behavior for this species?
