Thanks @Kymua, substrate all dried and now she is grooming ontop of the bark and has span webbing on the substrate during the night.

Trip lines to know where the prey is Sounds like she's settling in.

Hi all, just came in to find T is very active and trying to climb the tank to escape. Seems unusual behaviour, has anyone experienced this before or have advice on behaviour?

Hi all just came in to find T constantly climbing tank to escape. Nothing has changed environment wise, temp and water good etc... any reasons for this behaviour?

Most commonly my Ts will climb when the weather changes. When i see 3 or 5 or more Ts on the walls of their enclosures then we got a good storm coming in. Did you drip on the substrate when watering? or overflow the dish? Could be setting up new webs. My GBB likes to try and web the lid on his enclosure shut, then he sits on top of the leaves and just watches as i try and get lid off without tearing up all his webbing.

Just came home from a 14 hour shift and my T has decided to dig a half decent burrow. Is that usual for a Chilean ?

It is usual for all Ts. Some will stay in there for 23hrs and 59 mins a day others just a few minutes but at the end of the day, all Ts need somewhere they feel safe. They often will use whatever hide we provide them but they will also decide to build their own little home....lol. Nothing to worry about and it might be getting itself ready for premoult.
