I'm new to the forum, I've seen it around, and just decided to join <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />!I've had a few Ts for a while, and my Pink Toe is just now starting to develop weird behavior. He's successfully molted in February and has been eating about once every 5 days or so. He's just reached maturity, has newly acquired claws, and seemed happy.Over the past two days, he has wrecked his web and was looking ill; he was hanging on the side of the glass, and his front legs were all smashed against the substrate, as if he had fallen and decided to stay there with his back legs still on the glass. I was observing him move into that position over the course of a few hours. Now he has finally crawled completely on the substrate.His web was by the heat source (is cold where I live the majority of the year) and I'm wondering if he got too hot to the point where he had to go to the substrate? I have the heat in a corner so he can thermo regulate if need be, with temperature and humidity gages to track.Can anyone give me advice? It would be much appreciated!</blockquote>
