Gbb question

[Ej87]

Is it normal for a juvenile gbb to hang out at the top of her enclosure all the time? It seems like every time I check on her she's on the wall in the top corner of the enclosure

commonly happens when structures for anchor points arent provided. that and the sub may be too moist. contrary to what people commonly believe they are neither arboreal nor semi-arboreal and are fossorial desert dune endemics that burrow in hummocks or under low-growing bushes, utilizing the lower branches as anchor-points similarly to agelenidae, complete with 'trip-lines' to knick flying insects into the web

The sub is bone dry and I thought I had enough anchor points for her

Hi
it looks like freshly setup enclosure.
If thats the case give it time to settle.
Also they gravitate towards the higher ground as youngsters but settle lower as they mature.
On the other side that looks like arboreal enclosure that offers some fall risks and less sase for her to settle lower.Think about something more terrestrial(more floor space compared to height)as an upgrade when she puts more size.

Nice enclosure for an adult GBB, probably too big for that juvenile but it appears to be webbing so it's making itself comfortable

Mine almost never come blow the top 1/3 of the enclosure and created a large bed/hammock that is now the length of the whole top of the enclosure (mesh screen top).

It looks good. I would spray the ground a little. Bone dry is not the best. Spray a little and see what happens.

This is a pretty cool video I found that shows them in the wild.
