Hello, my Brachypelma albopilosum just arrived, and I placed it intro the Terrarium , but it s not moving much , it only sits between a wooden bark and the glass . Humidity and Heat are in the parameters . I tried to feed it a cricket , but when I aproached it and placed it under her, she got scared and ran away... Is it about to mold or it's just stress?

If you've just got it the chances are it's just stressed. Leave it in a quiet place for a while, if it's just a sling it could settle in a few days but larger tarantulas can take weeks to settle into a new home.
Make sure it has water available and if it doesn't eat remove the food after 24 hours and leave 5-7 days before feeding again.
