SA female drumming/tapping?

I just caught my GBB SA female drumming on the wall of her enclosure. I’ve never seen her do that before. I did rehouse her last week and I think it was the right thing to do as she’s webbed it up nicely. Do they tap for anything other than mating or seeing if there is a male around? I got her as a juvenile and she’s moulted twice I don’t think she’s quite fully grown.

My Psalmopeous Ecclesiasticus starting drumming one time when feeding and she is now on her second phantom egg sac soooo! Be ready! Lol,lol.
Omg…cheeky girl! I‘ve only just got over the obvious horniess of my MM N Incei. 4 months of making sperm blankets. I thought he’d given up but last night he was eating a cricket. In fairness i did leave him with my lady quite a few times but she wasn’t interested but at least he got to try.

I seem to have several horny females. Lol My Versicolor is on a phantom egg sac now as I type along with my Ecclesiasticus! My Psalmopeous Emeraldus bout a month and half ago consumed hers which I was hoping for! Fixing to pull the Versi's and the Ecclesiasticus again as well. Ecclesiasticus will be fun. She bout as bad, maybe worse, than any Cyriopagopous I have kept!! Lol.
