Lasiodora parahybana barricade hide

[londelsh]

Evening everyone, hope your all doing good. So my LP has just been moved into a new enclosure, and since then s/he has stayed hidden in his hide and barricaded the entrance. I know there are many different reasons as to why they do this but I can't figure out what it could be, temp/humidity/molt I have no idea. So my question is what is everyone's experience and outcome with this. And what can I do other then wait.

There's nothing you can do really. Your T will come out when it's ready. It could be just settling in after its move to a new home or it could be coming up to moult. Just leave it alone for a few days except for watering and feeding, if it doesn't eat then remove the food next morning.

agreed....the fact that it is using its hide and building stuff is a sign that it is happy and settling in. If they run around and are restless that's when I worry about them personally

Thanks I wasn't really worried as I know it can be normal but I'll do what you said leave it be and see what happens. Thanks.

Yea if it's crawling around its top and sides of the enclosure it's restless n stressed. It's made that fat web curtain which is a good sign of possible molt, or just remodeling it's new home

That's good then since s/he has come out but performs to stay behind that substrate wall lol. So if my T is sat at the top of enclosure and won't come down that mean stress and restless what can I do to stop that, as my OBT is doing that at the moment.

OBT are semi arboreal. Both of mine started webbing from the top corner of their containers downwards, then built a cave at the bottom. My adult still spends almost all of her time when out at the top of her terrarium.

He is webbing don't know what he's making though, as it looks like he's building a tunnel across the whole enclosure, it'll be cool as hell if that is what he's doing but it's going to be a complete nightmare to clean and maintain lol.
