Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adraps11" data-source="post: 58892" data-attributes="member: 4220"><p>A few weeks ago, before I cleaned the cage, my T would sit at the corners of the cage with it's front legs drawn together like it was preparing to dig, it had it's abdomen raised in the air. After I cleaned the cage this behavior stopped, but the tarantula still seemed restless, so I adjusted my room's lighting to where the cage was dimly lit. This was aided by taping comptuer paper to the sides where the light pours in from. She still wanders about more than usual, laying down webbing and refusing food, but doesn't try to climb the sides or anything. She does seem more relaxed. I'm still going to wait a couple of weeks and see if all these stressful behaviors,  just happened to coincide with a molt.</p></blockquote><p></p>
