Yes there is a very small chance but i have never seen absolutely any of my T's climbing on the lid of there enclosures. not a single one. so yes its a possibility and could possibly be a reason but the drop to the substrate is not that far, like only about 2 - 3 inch drop but ofc that could still hurt the T. so overnight the tarantula hasnt moved anywhere else, hasnt touched the cricket i placed about 1cm or less from its fangs and legs still moving when torch shined at it. before anything else happens could you let me know if i should stop shining a torch at it? the only reason i do it is because the lighting in my room is bad and it helps me see if the T is still moving or not. But i just dont know if it could be stressing the T out more or hurts it atall.</p></blockquote><p></p>
