Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 54679" data-attributes="member: 4086">Sometimes it takes them awhile to adjust, especially with a large enclosure. I'm not saying you need to move her, it will just take her more time to settle. As far as temp, humidity...she should have very low humidity..it shouldn't even be a consideration unless it's too high, and as The JuicyFruit said, high or low temps and humidity will make a terrestrial climb the walls. I've seen it too many times when humidity reaches 100% here in south Texas. Despite being a controlled environment, those outside changes WILL reach your t room, in most cases, even if it's lessened quite a bit by walls and A/c or heaters. I've had a few very experienced keepers tell me that if you change enclosures, sometimes it changes their behavior, so you might try putting her in something smaller for the time being. See how she reacts to it after a week. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> You can always move her back when she's bigger.Edit: Those fine mesh screen tops are bad news, especially for a climbing terrestrial. I've never had an issue with the large mesh, but those fine ones will cause a spider to get its claws caught, and could cause serious damage.</blockquote>
