[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 70685, member: 4086"] Agreed, gbbs like to web up their hide and sit on it. My bigger girl didn't start using both levels until recently. She does use the hide at the bottom now, and the webbed up leaves at the top, chances are 50/50 of where she will be when I look for her. They live in short scrub in the wild, and actually do live semi arboreal by choice. Personally I believe this has to do with torrential rains and flooding of dry areas like their homeland. I like to throw the roach in the tree my bigger one has, and watch her come up and get it. She hits adult dubia like a damned freight train, and the crunching noises go on for some time. Very enthusiastic eaters...if she was the size of my Lp she would give me pause...Lp's have the greatest appetites, but gbb take the cake in vicious hits :D They have no issue with rear naked chokes and ground fighting..nor do they mind rolling, falling, or slamming against the side of the enclosure when hitting prey. I really miss watching gbb slings wrestle with crickets or dubia nymphs..but I have 6 Hapalopus columbia lg slings that act pretty much just like them, and I'm already liking them just as much :D Fat little piggies..
