B. Smithi (Hamorri) climing enclosure wall

[ReeceJones]

My young B Smith (Hamorri) climbs it’s wall and is rarely on subtrate. Her substrate isn’t wet or even damp. I don’t mist of wet her enclosure at all. However there is a water dish. I understand that this species doesn’t like wet substrate. Substrate I’m using is coco fibre with something that a reptile shop was using, I completely forgot to ask what substrate she currently has. Looks like some sort of peate moss mix with coco fibre
Anyway I just wanted to know if I need to worry about anything?
Plus she hasn’t eaten in 3 weeks and shows no sign of premolt.

The moisture was the first thing that came to mind. Peat moss is for retaining moisture and in my opinion is only good for those species that need plenty of moidture. Straight coco fiber, water dish (overflowing it at times is a good thing in my opinion). My guess is that it is merely settling in. Also, i would add a little more substrate the last picture makes me a little nervous, deeper substrate will prevent long falls. I won't touch up on the handling picture too much, as it has been discussed hundreds of times on other threads (not recommended to handle, very frowned upon subject next to hybridization and heat pads/lamps/rocks/etc... Which are also not recommended.)

What's the temp and humidity of the room she's in? I've seen many of my dry species start climbing when there's a big shift in humidity here. I've also heard a rise in barometric pressure will cause it, but can't confirm that one. Regardless of room temp control, if the humidity hits 100% outside it's going to go up in your house as well. Not as much, of course, but enough to cause climbing occasionally.

don’t worry I wasn’t handling her. She was on her enclosure side and I put my hand there to show people the size of her

All my Smithi and Hamorii's climb the walls. Perfect conditions as well. Just gotta make sure they don't have far to fall or something hard to land on. They suck at climbing. My Aphonopelma Chalcodes climb as well...they are constantly falling...just make sure that the distance isn't that great. Also as it gets further onto a premolt cycle they get even worse at climbing...constantly falling. I give mine no more than 5" of head room...Ive got some big girls too.

Possibly just settling in- they do weird things. This is something I have learned. Make sure the Substrate is high and let it do it's thing.
My GBB spent about the first week she was home with me on the lid upside down! (I'm sure you can find my concerned posts) I listened to the people on here who helped me relax and yes! When she settled, she stopped that behavior.

My B.Albopilosum is a climber too and it disturbs me because her enclosure was tall so before I got a new enclosure I put a petroleum jelly or a paraffin wax to prevent her from climbing
