My A geniculata is not in premolt but she has had her burrow sealed off basically since I’ve gotten her. I can still see and feed her no problem but she is now climbing on the side of her hide and sealing the gap between the glass. Does she feel uncomfortable? She just had a molt not long ago so I know she’s not molting anytime soon. She’s a feisty girl so I don’t bother her much at all the only time I open her enclosure is when feeding/watering her she built a burrow awhile ago but filled her tunnels in. I’ve never had a tarantula literally climb up the side and start sealing it off. She’s putting dirt in her palps and webbing it off. It’s cool but I want her to feel safe too.

You haven’t owned enough Ts then 😂

Sounds like she’s building SOMETHING

Leave it alone- enjoy

No she will just do the same thing in another enclosure. Could you get pics of the entire cage? We’re did you get that enclosure? It looks decent.

You’re probably right lol I have 7 as of now I Just got back into keeping ts. By that I meant she was literally hanging and laying down dirt while climbing near the top of her enclosure it’s a little hard to explain. I’ve had ts build tunnels/burrows just not build anything at the top esp since she’s not an arboreal lol

I ordered it off amazon only $18 it’s 8x8x8 I believe. I ordered a couple for my ts it’s a great enclosure I was surprised especially for the price. It has a black screen mesh at the top with cross ventilation and a feeding slot for tongs. It also has plugs for the top and a lock so your ts won’t get out. It’s durable too

Replace the mesh, Ts can get their legs stuck and can also chew through it

Replace the mesh lid.
