I wouldn't be too alarmed at her climbing around a new enclosure as she most likely just exploring the new digs, almost all of my spiders do the same thing. In a few hours she'll figure out where everything is and start to make it her own but keep in mind spiders can climb and are just as curious as any animal. It's just that terrestrial species are a little more clumsy (for lack of a better word) when going vertical. But don't worry too much about a fall, as I said, spiders are well equipped to climb around and know full well how to take care of themselves. Falls aren't all that common, but are, however, tragic occurrences. But she's fine I'm sure. What's her name?</p></blockquote><p></p>
