So as some of you may know I recently got my "first" T quite recently. A juvenile(2-3in)female B.smithi (maybe not smithi anymore with the name change lol) so after getting her settled in for a day I offered a two crickets because her abdomen looked abit small and she devoured them. I waited from tuesday to friday to feed her another cricket and she also took that one, then I waited a week and fed her another cricket which she tackled and rolled with lol. So I got this species because apparently they are out alot and make good display spiders and I was prepared for the classic pet rock as everyone says but after two weeks settling in my little girl is now wrecking havoc around her tub. She will move round and round her tub and wont stay still for most of the afternoon and has been obssesing with the corner of the tub towards me and the light from the window so its not even a dark spot. She has decided to dig that corner and form a sort of dune around it and shes almost reached the bottom of the tub. So question is does anyone know why? I really dont get it substrate is bone dry, she has a perfect hide in a dark corner and my room is pretty quiet so nothing is bothering her. Why would she dig this sort of deppresion with a dune? Or be this active? Temperatures maybe? It is in the low to mid eighties most of the afternoon so maybe warm weather equals active T? I've also seen her sticking a leg and fangs out through ventilation holes and has been climbing the sides alot
