Hello & welcome to both the hobby & the forum. Place a few pieces in your enclosure, to give your avic avic something to climb other than the sides & some high webbing points. Some cork bark, trail some artificial plants from the top, get some appropriate old looking branches, that sort of thing.

It is also worth mentioning. Mildenhall Halloween Invert show. On the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk boarder. This years was the third show & it's good, but not large show. Although I belive they are hoping to get a larger venue this year. The venue used during the past 3 years is a 5 minute drive...

Some T's are more active that others. My wifes 7 legged P smithi was doing the wall of death backwards a few days ago & my C lividus which has been in a burrow for months suddenly decided to become a very active terrestrial a few weeks ago. As for our V chromatus, that is positively manic.

The Eastern show is in Gillingham! That is more like a London show, than an Eastern show.

Our Brachypelma smithi molted last night whilst 4 inches in the air on top of her cork arch. It's her favourite place to be.

They cerrtainly look to be one of the Blaberus family to me. Looking on Google, maybe discoidalis, the false deadhead? https://cockroach.fandom.com/wiki/Blaberus_discoidalis

Just give it, a little extra substrate & some time to settle in. It is not uncommon for T's to climb for the first few weeks of being in a new enclosure. And some do it all the time. You have things for it to climb on, so it can escape the substrate if it wants too. So just give it time, reduce...

Just add some extra substrate so when it climbs it is safer. The danger is. A T is like a balloon full of water. And any fall risks it splitting open. Reduce the available height to climb to less than 1.5 times it's leg span & like that, any fall is minimal & not likely to cause injury. But T's...

If by Mexican fire leg you mean Brachypelma boehmei & if by columbian giant red leg you mean Megaphobema robustum. Then these T's should be kept in very different conditions & mold should not be an issue in a Brachypelma enclosure, as it should be kept dry. But the robustom is a tropical...

Welcome to the hobby & the forum.

That is possible. Tarantulas can shed a leg & then regrow it, if they feel the need.
