Panic mode!Bear in mind that I've got a large Exoterra Faunarium with partition up until she's a bit bigger, so you can probably see where this is going.I don't know whether she got spooked by the hoover or whether she's just been nosy, but I found her on the other side of the partition! And then as if she thought "Oops, I got caught!" she calmly climbs back up the partition and decides to take a little rest up the top. <img src="http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b632/BreeM2304/Tarantula/IMG_4360_zps33d0e146.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> So I open the lid and gently tap her back legs to get her to climb down, which she ended up doing. I can say one thing about her: She may be quite confident and bold, an aggressive feeder showing no mercy to her prey (and water droplets, lol), but she's so far shown no aggression or threat towards me. She's really chilled out (still NOT going to handle her, lol).I've now removed the partition as I don't want to risk her falling off the edge if she decides to go for another adventure, but have added another larger hiding space and foliage, so she doesn't feel exposed. She prefers to remain in her old half, but goes for the occasional wander to her new side. I reckon she'll be fine.</blockquote>
