Hey, this is a stress curl your T is fine. It can be stressed out even if you don't handle, for some individuals, touching the enclosure is enough to stress them out. Just let her be. There is alot to consider to find the source; has she been rehoused recently? Is the plastic flowerpot cut in half to let her burrow? How does the entire enclosure look?
yes it was 3 days ago, but maybe because humidity was too low, it never burrowed with me
okay thank u very much, I didn't think to stress a tarantula for that, poor sensitive t, I'll leave her alone for a while
That’s not it, it may feel too exposed or has been disturbed by tryiny to take a picture of it. And Disregard humidity, it’s unimportant it’s just something you do not need to worry about or to chase specific percentages.
Yeah imo humidity is important, but as u say not the exact percentage.
there are no noise like this near the spider room, maybe it was me because I opened too often the enclosure.. anyway I'll give y'all updates if it's still stressful, thanks
How much experience is that opinion based upon? You just asked if a stress pose was normal, and said that you didn't think it was stressed simply because you don't hold it.
it is base on every care scheet that I saw when I started with ts last year
I take these photos just now, she had a lot of substrate, across ventilation and no decorations, anyway she has stopped being in that position
Sorry I'm trying to learn so how can I kill my t with an humidity constantly at 70%?
Care sheets kill tarantulas, they are all outdated and garbage. Humidity is the measure of moisture in air, you need to be concerned about soil moisture not air.
omg so why there are all of these care sheet and they don't delete them...
and I have to give her a smaller hide?
As @Smotzer said, care sheets are trash. You will need to relearn everything you think you learned about care unfortunately. Luckily, you're on the best source for husbandy in the world! (This board)
Dang! That's a big tub of dirt, awesome. The hide needs some work though. Most seemani will eventually burrow and make their own, but they need a secure one in the meantime to settle in. If you're going to use that flowerpot, it needs to be cut in half and pushed further into the substrate. A hide with a lot of headspace doesn't make them feel safe - they like hiding in a small, dark hole. Doesn't need to be so snug that it's crammed in, but it shouldn't be much bigger than the T. If it's not cut in half, when the tarantula does start burrowing it'll hit the pot and won't be able to go further.
The vast majority of care sheets are outdated garbage. If you want a prime example then try keeping an Avicularia at the 70% - 80% humidity often cited on internet care sheets and see how quickly you kill it, these people even invented a condition called SADS (Sudden Avic Death Syndrome) because they couldn't figure out that overly moist enclosures with restricted ventilation are death-traps for Avics.
Because once something is on the internet it's basically there forever. Also, people love to regurgitate nonsense without fact-checking it first so the nonsense ends up in more places which makes it much more accessible for new keepers who don't know any better.
yes the flowerpot is already cut in half, now I'm going to push it more into the substrate

It's great you're looking for ideas to destress your T's, i would move away from the idea of them needing mental stimulation; they are not physiologically complex enough to need things to play with like a conventional fuzzy pet would.
