My T. ockerti female was a pet shop rescue too. She was in a small cage (not at all a semiarboreal setup) with hardly room to move and no water dish. Plus she had a huge bald spot from kicking hairs due to stress. And now since I've had her, she's really calm and hasn't shown signs of kicking hairs at me. Now she has plenty of room and likes to stay up high on her branches.

I'm getting quite fond of my little T. ockerti... almost as fond as they are of their cork bark.
They are a beast when it comes to food.

Awww looks lovely. I have one that size that barely leaves its hide. My AF just blasts me with hair then scarpers as soon as I open the doors to change dish. I love this species but the hairs are killing me :(
