Confused about behavior

[Trenor]

Yeah, the worst one for me is my B.albopilosum here is the front of it's hide....

Here's a theory . Albos come from a dry region where free standing water would be a rarity . Therefore those water sources would be attractive to a variety of animals , many that would find a big fat juicy T to be a tasty treat . So a water source located right outside the entrance to a burrow or a hide would be instinctively considered a bad bad thing . Since Ts get most of the moisture they need from the prey items that they eat they would see a water source as unimportant . So , fill in the water source and predators will have to move on to find the water that they must have . That would also apply to my sp. Maule since she also comes from an arid region . Either that or I have just had too much coffee today and my mind is in overdrive .

I had a similar theory to add on to yours. I've seen them dump molts, uneaten pre-killeds, substrate, bolus, ect in water dishes, and the theory that I have developed is that they use water for disposal of things that could possibly tip off predators, or bring in unwanted guests. Wether it be leftovers or morsels or even unatural piles of substrate, to me it seems like they dump it there for a purpose, all to fly under the radar from potential visitors.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts!

My B. Smithi is always moving his substrate around. He has one corner that he likes to have completely empty...no idea why. He's a mover, too. He's very active, always climbing around and moving stuff. Since his last molt, he's gained an interest in hanging from the ceiling of his terrarium. He cracks me up

Yeah Fluffy has started hanging out at the top of his enclosure... having to triple check his location before opening the top!

One of my juvenile females has never burrowed or done any redecorating and the other does this...

She also has a huge, gaping, hole in the left corner beyond this photo with two tunnels running off it.
Both are female, both are kept in exactly the same conditions, and both are almost the exact same size (age).
They're all unique individuals.

She's too cute.
