T behavior sometimes is not what you expect no matter the species. I have Chilobrachys (Kraken, Huahini) that were basically sweet hearts when rehoused! Heard tells of super defensive Grammastolas. I haven't personally experienced this from the Grammastola I keep though my G. Pulchripes absolutely insisted on coming out of her enclosure when I refilled the water she tipped. So much so I to catch cup her finally! Lol! Happy Spoodering!

Believe it or not, T's actually learn complex behaviors in response to their environment. How your pets behave is partly due to how you treat them.

A couple of my T's know exactly what it means when I open the enclosure. They come running for their roaches the second they hear the door locks open.

Cannot agree more!

Sometimes a simple re-house can completely change an irascible T's behavior. My Harpactira Cafreriana was in a T.Cribs 5*5 hexagon. Pissy anytime I did any little thing. Put her in a 6*6 T. Crib cube and she is a whole different spider attitude wise. She has built her web mound over her hide, sets on top out in open and is cool as the other side of the pillow.
