What's the depth of the substrate in there? Looks like you could go a lot higher, my AF has dug out a three exit hide under an ornamental log, he has an indent se often sits in when hungry, then she has a tunnel she's still excavating that she likes to take her good down into and eat.

When I get off work I'll upload some pics of her enclosure, I keep mine on the dry side.

Oh nice your t is a busy one I see that's pretty cool....I'm thinking about rehoming my euathlus sp red once she's feeling better in a sterilite tub hopefully with a nice hide and water bowl .... Right now she has about 2 inches of coco fiber substrate, I'll take some pics

I would, personally, add more ventilation holes, but again that's just me. lol

 

[Prrum16]

It's got ventilation all the way around and on top ... Too much ventilation Isn't good neither because it ruins the microclimate for the tarantula

Right, Normally I would agree with you but I keep mine just like a brachy, seems to work just fine for me, I just like to provide more air flow.

I'd simply offer her a bigger waterdish tbh. The waterbottle caps are fine for slings, but grown T's (even if dwarfs) get a normal-sized waterdish from me. It tends to dry out less quickly that way and spends longer humidity by evaporating water.

Oh ok thanks storm I'll upgrade to a bigger water dish I shoulda done that a while ago

How's she doing? Any changes?

 

[Prrum16]

I'm still at work but as soon as I get home I'll let you know

 

[Prrum16]

..... Guess she's just a little stressed out ... What do u all think about rehoming her in a sterilite tub about 6 inches wide and 12 inches long and 5 inches high

 

[TsunamiSpike]

Chances are if she's already stressed moving her could exasperate the situation, although it could work. Tbh, I'd avoid it but that's just my personal opinion on a mere 3 months experience.

 

[Curious jay]

If it's in a constant stress pose, I rehouse personally.

I forgot to grab a pic of my one last night, I'll do it in the morning.

I keep mine in a medium KK always seemed to enjoy having the space to roam.

I agree with rehousing or taking out the skull for more floor space.

Yea I rehoused her, I put her in shoe box enclosure with a hide and a water dish and she's already showing signs that she's happier. She's more active and responding well to the new enclosure

I forgot to mention she's also webbing everything

 

[Slimdean]

Glad to hear she has some leg room now. I think the prob was she wasn't a fan of climbing up and down that dreadful skull.

Dont rehouse her, just throw that skull statue thingy out of the enclosure. Mine euathlus likes to spread its legs If you like those sculptures, get a bigger enclosure, and fit it in on one side of it, and let the T choose where she will stay

Probably the reason why they immediately go explorer once the lid is popped off
