[QUOTE="CourtneyG, post: 66059, member: 3403"] Every day and night I go to turn the lights on or off for my reptiles and I alwayse check up on my P. metallica, she is right near the controls for the lights, I make sure everything is good from what I can see of her enclosure and her if she is out and about. But last night when I went to turn the lights off and check in on her she changed her behavior of either not caring for my presence or hiding away (if she is out of her hides) She came out of her tube hide and was rearing up at me and lunged at the glass a few times before settling down at the entrance of her tube hide.[IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/28/f7ea566139916690819bd15264b05bba.jpg[/IMG] For enclosure specs. Note the picture is when I moved her in and a bit outdated. The humidity is high near the bottom of the enclosure and she has extensive webbing around her hides. Also there is now more moss making the little log on the back wall closed off for a top entrance only. Also the tube fell off and I turned it over, going to try and reattach it when I do a substrate change and I can get her out of it. [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/28/06fb7f42b7838044e449845ad776f2f3.jpg[/IMG] She also ate on monday and was well fed. Any reason for this sudden behavior change, it's not like she is not used to my presence. Would like to know why and what I need to change to calm her down if I am the reason. I can maybe add more hanging stuff? The traffic flow is also very quite by her, it's just me in there normally twice a day and never for long. [/QUOTE]
