She also has a half log stuck in the bedding at such an angle that the back dead ends. It looks to me like a perfect place for a spider to hide, but she seems not to care too much where she is. I have seen others mention as well that this species does not use hides nearly as much as some others. I have had her about a week now and just last night she was actually sitting in the entrance to the log (possibly "hunting"?) but was out in the middle of the enclosure just that afternoon. I agree that it is wise to keep it in there, who knows when they might decide it is a nice refuge. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Congratulations on your new acquisition! ^_^</p></blockquote><p></p>
