[QUOTE="shewholovesmusic, post: 161996, member: 31150"] So we got a new GBB sling in September and we've notice that while she's webbed everything up quite well and she'll go down to catch prey she always sticks to the sides and doesn't go elsewhere. She will bring her prey up and eat on the side she just doesn't seem to want to stay down. We've tried making sure that the soil isn't too moist and have checked it a few times adjusted to almost dry even and she just never wants to go down. She seems happy enough she has things to climb on but seems to prefer the sides. I've seen some things saying that GBB's have some arboreal characteristics and read many many threads about it but I can't find anything that might explain it that we haven't checked. My boyfriend is really worried about her so I thought I'd check to see if anyone else has any ideas here on whether or not it's bad that she won't hide elsewhere and just stays to the sides. (She's a little smaller than an inch I'd say and also she moves not all the time but kinda chooses different walls mainly depending on which side was closest when she last ate (again she loves to drag the crickets up there while she eats them and we have noticed she will actually take them to the ground when she's done then go back up to her little spots)) [/QUOTE]
