don’t have to tell me twice! in fact, about a month ago she was in a common acrylic box enclosure (which was a huge pain because she loves to sit at the top AND bolts any time something happens. I was spraying water into her enclosure when she bolted and i panicked and closed it, so she ended up having a pedipalp cut off :( i was absolutely HEARTBROKEN and immediately ordered her a new enclosure which she is getting used to now, but i’ll never question her speed again! here’s the new enclosure :)

Looks fantastic should settle really well in there. I have same problem when spraying her enclosure she reacts like lightning. Also I found out that feeding her from my tweezers wasn't the brightest idea as she ran straight up them. My heart was in my mouth

Oh my GOD I don’t know what I would’ve done! After the spraying incident I found that I could spray through the ventilation holes and that ended up working really well because I could choose exactly where I wanted the water to land (which is extra helpful since I chose not to give her a water bowl yet).

Good idea I now place a cut off cordial bottle over her cork tube to stop her running up. I just cut bottom off and use top half for covering and also its very handy for re housing ts

This is one reason I like the tanks with doors that slide up so they open at the bottom and you can use tongs to do maintenance and filling the water bowl is easy too without the risk of an arboreal T making its escape.
