I think she has gone into her 2nd molt now as she was refusing food for a couple of days and has now retreated into her hide and blocked the front with substrate and webbing.Thank you so much for all of the advice, I really do appreciate it!Massexodus, I keep her on dry substrate but I overfill her drinking bowl then let it dry out. Ive noticed when the substrate is moist she starts climbing everywhere.  I do mist the tank if the humidity is too low though. I have a small heat mat taped to the side of the enclosure which keeps the temperature between 73-80 degrees day and night.I'm looking for a new enclosure for her too as the one I have is too high and I don't want her falling and hurting herself, any recommendations?I need to be able to use a heat mat though as I live in the Isle of Man and its cold here all the time!! Any help will be once again massively appreciated!Thanks guys.</blockquote>
