Message: <blockquote data-quote="DeniseLeandra" data-source="post: 12029" data-attributes="member: 690"> I recently purchased my second pink toe tarantula, but instead of building a web and staying on the walls, she just sits on the ground in between the leaves of the fake plants. I thought maybe she was hungry , and waiting for prey but she's already eaten three crickets this week. She's still fairly young, but not a spiderling. I just want to know if theres anything i need to change in the enclosure, she seems rather comfortable on the ground though.She also has a heating pad under her enclosure, may that be the reason why? is she cold? should i take some of the substrate out?</blockquote>
