I keep my Chilean rose in a plastic tank, an Exo Terra Faunarium.
Recently shes been sitting right up by the lid and poking her fangs
through the small holes and then pulling on the plastic as if to break it or something.
Im not sure if this is normal behaviour as shes never done it before, i dont think its good for her health either.

Anyone know why shes doing this?

ive heard of this before but never encountered it myself. Not sure why she'd do it but id keep an eye on her, Ts have been known to "hang themselves" this way.

is there any other t's near her in any way ?

She has a salmon pink living in the next tank along, but i put a big peice of cardboard between the tanks so they cant see eachother.

Whats this about hanging themselves???

they bite a tiny hole in the lid and poke thro the hold and get stuck iv never had this happned but i know people who have just keep a close eye on her you could try fixing some kind of material to the inside of the lid but make sure air can still get in and this should sort your problem out

Thanks for your help

my L parahybana has a severe walk about every now again and does the same thing its just her way..., one thing i would ask is how damp is your substrate as she wont like it if wet so will climb up to get off it..

I put a water bowl in there, the substrate is dry because she wont go on it otherwise.
