After a bit of contemplation, my anxiety got the best of me and I wanted to make a post to look for help. 2 days ago I finally got my first tarantula; she’s a Tliltocatl albopilosus. I got her at a exotics pet shop and they said she molted about 4-5 weeks ago and she’s about 4 inches. last fed not even a week ago. Well ever since i moved her into her enclosure she has been stress curled in the highest corner of her enclosure, which happens to be right on top of her hide. she put down a good amount of webbings in that area too. I can post photo of her enclosure and what she is doing if that would help. Thank you!

I brought my Theraphosa stirmi home & then transferred her to a new enclosure in the same day, so she obviously got a little stressed & like your curly, she stood herself in a corner. So I put her enclosure on a low shelf & simply put boxes in front of her enclosure, so she could have a slightly darker enclosure & less disturbance. Overnight she took refuge in her shelter & looked far less stressed.
