Has anyone else had this problem

[blackjack000]

My Grammastola pulchripes is trying his best to get through the wire vents on his acrylic cage and he is beginning to succeed he is bending the vents with his fangs he is very smart he tested them all with his feet first and now is testing each one with his fangs to find any flaws anyone got any ideas

I hot glued hardware cloth over the vent in my genic's enclosure after hearing they'd chew through the soft metal vents that come with the enclosures. My genic spent a day or 2 playing with the hardware cloth then got bored of it. I used 1/4" but depending on the size of the T you may want to go larger or smaller. Watch the feeders though so they don't escape through it.

Can you try replacing the aluminum vents with plastic ones?

This site has some: http://www.roundvents.com/Plastic-Vents_c10.htm

just a thought. u are keeping it on dry substrate with just a water bowl right? i mean if it doesnt like the substrate it might give it a reason to be testing the paddock like a t rex. lol

yep dry substrate a hide and a water dish that's it !!! right now shes digging a trench to the bottom of the cage in one corner its a very smart spider like I said she tried every vent with her feet first one at a time in succession to see if the would pop out
