She may molt soon like Tnoob said, but it's also a good thing to keep in mind that you have only owned her roughly for a week <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Tarantulas need some time to get familiar with the new surroundings, and for your new girl that webbed hole is the safest and the most comfortable place at the moment. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Think it like this: What would you do if suddenly thrown in the middle of an old forest at late evening and sun goes down fast - You can see shadows moving around you, and all you can hear is the nature around you and maybe some unfamiliar noises. Would you keep roaming blindly or would you tuck in somewhere you'd feel a bit safer until daylight?Tarantulas don't see well and you can compare hearing unfamiliar noises to how tarantulas feel even the smallest vibrations with their setae, amplified by their webs. For them the dark night time with very little disturbance around is what the daylight would be for you if in the situation explained above.Cyriopagopus sp. hati hati are arboreal species with fossorial tendencies.</blockquote>
