Is my G. Pulchra broken?

I know that all tarantulas have their own personalities and attitudes. However can anyone explain what my pulchra is doing? Is this normal or is this just her quirk? Should I be concerned?

It appears as if she is trying to dig a burrow. They like to "landscape" (move things around their home) sometimes, too. No need for alarm. She's just being a spider.

Oh okay. I've never seen one do it like that before lol. She has burrows under her hide on the other side of her enclosure. Maybe she's favoring the slightly damp side more for the time being? Thank you.

It's possible. They come from Brazil so it's usually humid there.

Yeah I've been doing half and half on my ones that require more humidity. That way they can have it either way. But since I got her she's always stayed on the drier side except to go to her water bowl so that's what made me worry with her being head first in the substrate on the damp side.
