Another question (sorry lol)

[Clownc0ffin]

I was searching and could not find an answer for this one. So my Chalchodes likes to dig in the corner of her enclosure, but occasionally she'll start climbing and falling. She digs pretty deep ofc and I'm worried she'll climb and fall a distance in that spot but I don't want to keep filling up whatever progress she makes. It may sound like a silly question I mean tarantulas don't need this much assistance but then again they don't really climb glass in the wild. She specifically likes to both dig and climb in that one spot too, because I made a plexiglass lid myself and it has a tiny gap in the corner that she can hang on to when she climbs, and I tried to fill that corner up and put stuff to hold it down but it doesn't push it down all the way.

Have you got pic of the enclosure ,so is your plexiglass bowed a bit. I put lid which made for a tank but it kept on bowing every time I put something to hold it down . I kept on turning the lid a round I end up using the tank for a scorpion .

her corner where she digs is on the right, she usually falls there a lot because she likes to hang on the edge

Maybe I'm dramatic haha, but I just worry if she digs deeper and falls on her booty

I can see the gap I think you need a new lid its up to you but if you were the T in there would you be try to get out of there.

She pushes up but she can't really get it open I have something heavy over it, I think the lid might be slightly too big but I will try to make another one
Thank you

Their natural behavior is to crawl up to the burrow entrance, she might actually be hungry and trying to orient toward the 'entrance'. It's the air-flow causing it. It tells them that's the way out.

I have a Phormictopus utterly obsessed with air flows. Is this a sign of hunger? I might rehouse her as the ventilation is quite high and she’s a big girl. It does look like she’s trying to escape all the time.
