Hanging Upside Down

[KaitlinMarie]

Out of sheer curiosity I’m posting here. I have an Arizona Blond, maybe like 7 years old at this point, definite female. I recently purchased some anole lizards and their tank is basically right next to hers. She’s constantly climbing to the screen lid and just hangs there for hours. Im wondering if she’s trying to escape because she feels the lizards near by? I recently picked up a small Pink Toe but she’s been doing this for a lot longer so I know that’s out of the question.

If it is a screen top its quite possible you ts feet are getting stuck in the mesh. Which could be fatal. Pictures of the enclosure would help us help you

Like others said, if there is mesh it's hanging from, it could be stuck.

There is also the possibility it is simply tarantula-derping. Mine is guilty of this

Hope your T doesn’t fall and die

Like everyone else said, pics of the enclosure would be great. Since I don't have one right now, I'll just say that screen lids can be a recipe for disaster. There is always the risk that the spider will get a tarsal claw stuck, or chew through the screen and escape. Of course that's not a guarantee but I'd always like to not have that risk present.
