Question on Behavior

[BrokenRay]

I have a 2 in. Honduran T. albopilosum juvenile and he, (I'm using that loosely, not sexed yet) stays out of his burrow most of the day. Substrate is fresh, (coco fiber), I always keep his water dish full and overflow it once to twice a week. He's getting just a little darker so hopefully a molt is coming in 2 weeks not sure. He just ate yesterday on the 18th.

He stays on one part of the enclosure wall no where else. So to test if something is bothering him in his enclosure I turned the enclosure 180 degrees to see if he stays in the same spot. Nope he moved to the same spot like if the enclosure wasn't moved. I figured he would spend more time in his burrow but this little guy loves coming out and staying out.

I do not bother him at all only to feed him and clean his water bowl and refill & overflow. Any ideas? Is this just typical behavior from a 2 in. juvenile T. albopilosum? I have no idea.

Nothing wrong with the spider...just you. Lol

None of my T. albopilosum burrow....they sit out all the time. Their hides are a waste of money...they would be happy in a shoebox.

Ok thanks, was just over thinking things again

My albo changes position once per week, it might be very well considered dead'ish by untrained eye, but it's not

My albopilosum does exactly the same thing. She even filled her half a terracotta flower pot hide with substrate just to make the point that it held no interest for her.

Ok I feel better now. This is my first T and just like when my dog was alive I babied her and was over protective. I check my T all the time, I don't mess with him just look to make sure everything including enclosure are ok.

Yeah some spiders just do that like my A geniculata she just stays out all of the time and she has a hide, it’s just what spiders do every time you think they will do something they do the exact opposite.

My curly hair does the same thing, actually today it happened. she just moves her substrate around and burrows. Its typical behavior for curly hair.
