Title, I recently purchased a Brachypelma Smithi ex Annitha sling from a reptile store that offered complete packages for beginners. I've never owned a tarantula before, and it came with the sling, enclosure, substrate and decorations, etc.
I placed my sling in it and for the first few days it seems alright, it accepted meals and I misted the enclosure as necessary. For the past few days I've seen the sling spend most if not all of it's time climbing to the top of the enclosure. I did some research and I thing the T might not like the set up of the enclosure, but I've also heard that you should re-house your Ts as a little as possible, especially when they're in the sling stage.
If anyone could give me some advice or constructive criticisms about how I can possibly improve the enclosure and get my tarantula to stop trying to climb out, I'd really appreciate it
I uploaded some images of my enclosure from different angles.
