My red knee wont leave her hide!!

[Spyder22]

Hey all! Just wondering how normal it is for a 5 year old red knee to stay in her hide for like 4 weeks? She hasn't ever done this before...but thinking she is just cranking before a molt??

my 4+ adult female g pulchripes has been in her hide for more then 4 months. Its normal.

it could be anything, from premolt to relaxing.

What's a red knee?

I don't know which T that is as red knee is thrown around for many Mexican species.

Thanks all! Relieved!

They go through phases. A tarantula who's usually out might start hiding more, especially before a molt, or vice versa. It's all normal, even if it seems like a change from their usual pattern.
