Question Sky High GBB

Hi guys

Just a quicky.
I bought a GBB spiderling, s/hes about the size of a 2p max. WHen i put her in her new home she immediately ran up the branches in there and has set up camp and lots of web at the very top of the viv attached to the lid.
She has got a plant pot and branches in there along with plenty of soil, is there any reason she has done this or is it nothing to worry about?

Will it benefit to put some foliage in there? I dont want to lift the lid though as she is tiny and really fast.

Cheers

Maybe she's just really happy. Her tank will be have loads of web in it before long.

Yep, they are very skitty and fast. I'm sure she's fine

Enjoy her, they're beautiful T's!

Oh, btw I don't have any foliage in with mine, but that's personal preference!

How much is do the GBBs go for on average? Found some in a shop but they're well expensive (£40 for a spider just over an inch in size). Maybe they're cheaper at shows?

My one is up the top of her tank and webbed to the lid too so I can't open it. She's not eaten for weeks now and has built a hammock ready to moult in and has'nt been down to the ground for weeks either but they are lovely spids and the colour changes with every moult when they are so small.
