Questionable Behavior?

Hello all,

I come bearing a question. Today I noticed my rose haired T doing something I have not seen before. She was sinking her fangs into her wooden burrow. It looked as though she would position her fangs on the wood and stretch them slowly. Tarantula yoga? I only noticed this because I heard a scraping sound coming from her enclosure. Has anybody else seen this or have any information on what she might be doing? If I notice this again I will try to record video evidence. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

First time T owner, SteelCooked.

A few of my terrestrials use their fangs to push/carry things in their enclosures.
Here's my LP sling trying to move its leaves around:

I agree with @Scoolman, probably nothing to worry about. Welcome to the forum and the hobby, I am sure you will love it. I was a newbie to the hobby and 20+ years on, love it even more and this forum is A+++++. Use the introductions thread to tell us a little bit more about you and your T. Everyone on this forum is really welcoming and freely give their esperience and advice.

Thanks guys! @Fuzzball79 that is a seriously awesome awesome photo and I think is the perfect answer to my question. Many thanks. @Scoolman thank you for all the help throughout the years! Seems you have always answered my questions looking back. And @Phil that is a sweet looking T in your profile picture. Is it yours?
