[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 174692, member: 1090"] Hi there! :) T. albopilosus will not require "height" with an enclosure. They are a terrestrial species and they could try to climb if given that kind of space which could result in a fall and potentially harm your T. Floor space is what they need. I'm wondering if the webbing in that enclosure has been done over a period of time or if she has recently laid more web. The reason why I question this is that she could be in premolt and have laid her mat to molt on. Usually, when a tarantula is in premolt they seem a bit "lethargic" and don't move around much- even when coaxed. Also, another reason she may be acting that way is if she has been moved to a new environment. Some tarantulas hit it right off and adjust to their new surroundings fairly well, while others take some time to adjust. :) [/QUOTE]
