So I’ve always read that B. vagans are known to burrow but mine doesn’t and it’s concerning me. I’ve only had her a few weeks so I’ve tried giving her time to adjust and figured maybe she would eventually but so far, no. Her substrate is mostly coco fiber with some peat moss.. maybe I should change it??? She’s also acted a little strange the past few days. Instead of hiding like usual she has been out but laying on the grown (abdomen touching the ground and all) or either she’ll go to the side of her tank and bunch herself up. Not like deathcurl but she’s still bringing those legs in more and just looks uncomfortable. This morning I found her with her butt in the air, spinnerets straight up and had webbed all over everything.  Really unusual posture for her. I’m new to all of this and just want to make sure she’s ok. I’ll attach pictures of how she was this morning! Thanks, MaK</blockquote>
