Some of you may remember my thread from a little while ago where I expressed worry that my G. pulchripes wasn't drinking water, instead hiding in her burrow due to premolt. Annoyingly, she ended up covering the back viewport of her enclosure so I couldn't see her for ten whole days. I thought for sure she would molt by then, but guess what?

Yesterday, she uncovered the viewport again, and she still had the same peachy bald spot on her abdomen, and hadn't molted. It was then that I realized that @cold blood had the correct guess: her enclosure was just too big. So thanks for making me worry about your safety, ya dumb spider.
Anyway, I have moved her into a proper sized enclosure: a deli cup. She seems happy in her new home and has eaten a mealworm. I'm glad I get to see my little lady out in the open <3

They do move things around a lot though, and I said that in time, regardless of what I did, they basically ended up looking exactly like your set up. Yeah, its just fine.
