how does yours behave? does it walk around? is it a pet rock? does it consistently climb walls?

my albiceps is like a cat. i like how it behaves inside its enclosure. whenever it goes out of its hide, it perches on top of it and chill. it never roam to far awat from its hide. what i dont like about it is its too skittish and always flicks when i try to do something inside its enclosure

That’s what all Brachy’s do
Chaco laid back, walk around etc pet rock too- which is all Ts pretty much. They are not active animals at all compared to other wild animals peeps keep

I had a male chalcodes that was comical in his daily stints. Keep in mind each tarantula has their own disposition. They are also cold blooded animals so temperatures do matter.

When my temps are 70F all my T's become stationary. When temps are at least 72F I have some that move around. My mature males will wander around. I have females that are active too even my female Aphonopelma moderatum.

My 2 inch Brachypelma baumgarteni came out of it's burrow when I raised temperatures when I woke up. I'm staring at it right now before I have to run out the door.

Only my mature adult P. irminia has preferred cooler temps after it's last molt. Not sure what that is about. Temperature rises she retreats, when they cool down to 69F -70F at night she's out roaming.

Don't try to figure out everything they do especially since alot is still unknown.

Chacos are wonderful. It was my first T. As a juvenile, she moved substrate a lot, and as an adult, she chills out in the open, never hides away.

normal behavior can be a wide range
depending on many factors that will have an effect on your spiders behavior.
that being said, your spider seems to be behaving normal imo.
let Chaco settle in to its new home undisturbed.
