[QUOTE="jackys, post: 120562, member: 26341"] Pretty normal to be on the side of the tank, I think. My B. hamorii was climbing all over the place when I first got her. She stopped after a few days, and now only does it occasionally. 2 weeks before she molted, she climbed a bunch to put up a kind of "barbed wire fence" (web and urticating hairs) around the top of her enclosure. The vendor where I got 2 of my tarantulas recommended waiting 2 to 7 days before feeding. I've heard similar recommendations elsewhere. I will admit that I ignored that recommendation with two of my spiders. I fed B. hamorii the day after I got her, and A. geniculata the same day. Both showed "feeding response" behavior: B. hamorii when lightly touched with a paint brush (tried to grab it from me), and A. geniculata while I was removing the packing material post-unboxing (thought moving paper towel scraps were food). Incidentally, that's why I always use tongs for cage maintenance and such: they can't really see too well and might be hungry. [/QUOTE]
