[QUOTE="ayxsia, post: 197470, member: 37448"] I've had this about 3 year old tarantula for over 7 months now. Everything has been perfectly fine and I've used the same substrate. She has always stayed on it and never climbed further than on top of the hide. Almost two days ago i saw her walking on walls and even the ceiling. This continued for hours and I had to move her to a little bit smaller box because I was so scared that she could fall while being upside down... I thought that maybe the substrate had gotten damp so i put new dry substrate to the box she's in now. It has been another day and she's still pacing around. I thought she's looking for food but she won't eat. I ordered different type of substrate and I have to wait for it to come. I'm really worried and don't know what more I can do at this moment. It's so hard to watch her be uncomfortable. She basically walks on the walls all the time only taking small breaks. Please any help!! And yes during this time I've probably read every single article and thread about this behaviour but just desperate to get ANY tips [/QUOTE]
