I asked the sex because mature males will be very restless and hell bent on escaping their confines and wandering in search of females. What size is your tarantula? Might it be a mature male? Can we see a pic of the enclosure? Hysterocrates is one of the few Genus' that do not "hook out" as MMs. So, if yours is an adult male, and it matured and made a sperm web after the last molt, that would explain the behavior.The only other time I've seen this is when I had a large tarantula in too small of an enclosure.</blockquote>
