They are all set up in the gallon plastic jar style type containers, but they are bigger than a gallon. I have a piece of bark  in each of them and they all pretty much did the same thing one way or another. They pick a side, or a corner web a wall from the bar to the side of the cage, and then cover the web with dirt. I can see them in there little hideouts from the side of the enclosure. I guess I shouldn't say they are out all the time, but visible. These are about 3.5-4" specimens I'm talking about. Only one has taken to the top of the cage not including any dirt in its web, acting little more arboreal. This one is out all the time I can see it by glancing at the enclosure. Even slings go both ways I have a sling now that's always hiding in the dirt and one that's always out and is webbing up its enclosure. Like chubbs said they are out more frequently than others in the genus. Irminia can go both ways too, I hardly ever see my pulchers.</p></blockquote><p></p>
