L. parahybana. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

It could be due to the substrate being too moist, but it's also hard to tell from your pics what kind of top you have on the enclosure - is there adequate ventilation? If the sub stays moist and the T is constantly near the top of the enclosure, it could be an issue of not having enough fresh air. I would fill that enclosure up half way with more substrate and not add any water to the new substrate right away. Let the new sub absorb some of the moisture from the existing substrate and see how your T responds to it not being so wet. My guess is that it will prefer it on the drier side, so moving forward you will probably just need to wet a small area of the sub around the water dish but leave the rest dry. Make sure the lid allows for good air exchange since it's not possible to add cross ventilation.

its a normal aqarium lid i did drill qiute a few holes in it today all around it in an attempt to have somewhat cross ventilation ill keep an eye on the moisture levels on the substrate.If it stays unchanged ill switch enclosures for something more fitting

They can exhibit this behavior if they are not settled into their enclosure, this can be for a number of reasons.... substrate too soft/loose, substrate too damp/dry, not enough hiding spaces, not enough ventilation, or as simple as its just not acclimatized to the enclosure and its surroundings as its still foreign to it, and getting to know the place . Once it settles down, they will show this type of behavior far less often, but there will always be periods where it decides to randomly scale the walls, so getting that substrate nice and high to reduce the fall will do a world of good in the long run, and it is the first step you should take and will certainly help calm your anxiety.

You said it was readily accepting food, so I wouldn't be too worried about it for now, as generally when over stressed the tarantula will refuse to eat until it is settled.

EDIT: Sorry for kind of repeating what NMTs has said, his reply only appeared for me after I had hit the post button.

Don't stress about it any advice is appreciated
I'm happy to report that she is doing way better today she was on the large rock when i woke up this morning and she is still there which tells me she's finally calm.Staying true to the pet rock aspect
i've stopped feeding her and will only feed her on wednesday's

That's great to hear! I'd still heavily recommend increasing the level of that substrate, but its nice to know it has chilled out

thats pretty normal
again, normal ad of no concern at all.
Ts are opportunistic feeders, meaning they will feed whenever they can....there is absolutely no reason to ever feed a t that often....a t doesnt have to be fat to be healthy.
nope
My advice is to not anthropomorphize your tarantula.

you can use any number of substrates, there are many that are fine, none are better or sorse...some are just much more expensive...but sub is really the keepers choice.

My advice is to NEVER buy things labeled as organic, especially topsoil. Literally all subs are organic, when you see that label, its in reference to additives (which are never needed for a t), and generally means compost or manure.

thank you very much reading this really helped me to just sit back and let the T be a T i will however in the near future change the substrate or maybe even rehouse her into something a bit more appropriate for a terrestrial.

I'll be doing that this weekend hopefully she maintains her mood till then.

one last question
I'm pretty reclusive myselfand spend alot of time in my room during the evenings my light is always on and im wondering if i should be more considerate towards the T or if they're fine with it?

 

[SpookySpooder]

They're fine

What lighting conditions you keep your T's in seems to be something that people cannot unanimously agree on. Some people keep their entire collections within dark conditions for years and years with no problems. Some people say it is beneficial to give your spiders a day and night cycle. This year was my 20th year of keeping spiders, and I go through diurnal and nocturnal phases myself and have never had a problem with lighting at night time, or darkness during the day, or visa versa. There is no need to worry about this, providing everything else is fine, they have places to hide etc, they will still flourish. Some of my Poecilotheria for example are extremely photo sensitive, if I were to shine a torch directly on them they start running around all over the place, especially the slings, but the general light provided to lighten up the room has little effect on them what so ever as they have plenty of places to hide if need be.

Some spend most of their time in utter darkness underground and some spend every day in the trees.

just some updates on the LP I rehoused her earlier today and it went swell no threat posture or hair kicking but she was quite stubborn.
I used coco peat as the base substrate I also added some spaghnum moss and she's been on it all day she even took prey roughly an hour or so after the rehouse.

You have a Grammostola pulchripes.
They are even better spiders than LPs in my opinion. One of my favorites.
Mine climbs the walls if the substrate is even a little bit moist, probably explains why yours was climbing so much.

Exactly I was going to say that’s not an lp but I figured the color was a giveaway. My Grammostola pulchripes had a bad molt or something rip.. health problems suck.

 

[Smotzer]

From my perspective here, the majority of the substrate being covered with the loose/fluffy moss is also very likely a contributor to the climbing behavior

so sorry to hear

i wondered about it because she has a very pinkish hue thought it was an lp thanks

the climbing stopped completely,well i don't know if she does at night but it seems to have stopped i was sceptical about the moss as well i'll remove most of it but i quite like the look of it
But ill always put the T's needs before mine and seems like i need another rehouse because i thought it was an LP i chose a moist substrate due to them thriving in dry and moist conditions.It's not wet to the touch but if you squezee it some moisture seeps out ill change to dry coco coir and maybe potting soil
thanks allot

If the T has stopped climbing I say just leave it as it is, let it dry out over time.
