I recently purchased my first tarantula. I have been doing research for a few months about various beginner species to get, and I was originally looking at GBB or curly hair. However, after visiting my local pet store, I saw a tarantula marked as A. seemani for a good price and decided to get it. I believe that it is a subadult, and it is in a large-sized critter keeper for the time being with approximately 4-5" of substrate for burrowing. I have read conflicting information about the species, and so I would like to get some more in-depth information from other keepers.
I have had her since 2/8 and she has not eaten for me yet. She climbed the walls a fair bit on 2/11 but I have not seen her climbing any other time. I have been refilling a small water dish daily, and I spritz a little water in a corner where I made a starter burrow. However, it appears as though she started to make her own burrows in two spots, but she did not finish them. I plan on trying to offer her another super worm on 2/13. Does anyone have any suggestions for changes to the care and is this behavior normal after a rehouse? Should I continue with moistening a corner of the enclosure? I appreciate any advice that you all may be able to give me!
Here are some photos of the T and the enclosure.
