Brachypelma Auratum Sling climbing

[Widge]

Hello!

So I've had my Mexican Flame Knee for nearly 1 year now. Bought her around 1CM, around 4-5cm now. I recently rehoused her into a slightly larger house.

She's recently started climbing the walls of her enclosure... Over and over again. At first I thought it was just her getting to know her new home a little better but she's doing it so much that I'm a little worried she's either stressed or is trying to get out so do you think there is anything I can do?

Substrate is 80% spider life 20% coco fiber

Thanks!

Don't know spider life.

A rehouse = vertical T

Also, I've had Ts oddly go vertical for no obvious reason, then after over a year come back down (no changes in temps, substrate, container etc etc)

I would drop in a nice cork bark slab so your T has a hide, they like that generally, makes them feel more secure. Seems like your T could be roaming around due to "fear" of being in the open- means they are a target of a predator.

Enjoy!
