Occasionally you will see strange behavior from them when they're in premolt. If it's really unusual behavior for him, you might check for mites as well, or mold. Or has it become more dry or humid in the room he's in? Sometimes that will cause unrest, if they don't like the change. When it gets really humid here my dry species do not like it at all, and start climbing to ventilation holes. And my geniculatas, well they both feel like they're frogs apparently, the wetter the better...If I let them get too dry they'll crawl into their waterdish and sit in it. It could also be typical harmless unexplained behavior that spiders sometimes exhibit.</p></blockquote><p></p>
