It's absolutely normal (if your temps and humidity are okay), as your T will need time to adapt to the substrate. Just check that it isn't too moist, Grammostola porteri like it dry with a waterdish. Otherwise, just give it time to feel home.Did you offer it a hide? And if it's climbing, give it enough substrate height to be sure it doesn't hurt itself in a fall.Welcome to the crazy hobby of T keepers! Our motto is: "one more, one more, one more..." ;-)</blockquote>
