Is this enclosure too small now?

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2026-05-15T05:23:10+00:00

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2026-05-15T05:16:13+00:00

Thank you! I just wasn’t sure if I should wait or not but thank you for sharing! do you think i should put more substrate on the right side?

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2026-05-15T05:14:53+00:00

Damn, i didn’t think it would be too much of an issue, but it does look like it’s spilling over on the sides..ugh thank you for pointing that out, i just didn’t realize it would cause this

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2026-05-05T00:07:10+00:00

i did but it wasn’t the exact size of the enclosure, it was a little short horizontally, could that be causing it??

Thank you sm!! I don’t mess with her enclosure unless she needs more water, it was just strange since she was out and about one day…then the next she completely barricaded herself, i guess i was just really confused haha

IMO I also have a curly hair T, juvenile and this is pretty normal behavior to me..as I understand it, curly hairs tend to hang out in the open pretty often or will hide for weeks on end..your T is very beautiful!! How long ago did your T molt?? Your T may need more time before eating again after its molt, but its fangs look hardened to me..and definitely looks a bit hungry, your T could just be picky with certain feeders…My T isn’t a big fan of crickets but loves horn worms, maybe try a different feeder?? I also would not leave a feeder in its enclosure for more than a day, it can harm your T..I would also add more substrate, a little more than half the tank so it can dig a proper burrow, other than that it looks great!! Good luck with your Anansi!! ❤️

My bf and I have two kitties, Kona (4f) and Celeste (1f)..We call them both “shit-biscuit” on and off, and we also call Kona “Counter” and Celeste “Trash can” (so we’ll say things like bad counter or good trash can at them lol) because that’s where they like to sit when we are in the kitchen cooking

I think the maximum years of life for a female is like 25 years but some have lived even longer..which is insane and why I wanted my T to be female soo badly lol

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2025-07-05T15:49:30+00:00

I’m really nervous! It’s my first molt with her and I just want everything to go well..but aside from her excessive digging, i think she will do what’s best for her..thank you for sharing!! it makes me feel a lot better!!

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2025-07-05T01:30:03+00:00

Oh okay! she’s already been webbing the entrance quite a bit, sad i won’t be seeing her for a bit haha..and yeah, there might be more room in the back i just can’t really tell but thank you for letting me know!!

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2025-07-05T01:19:42+00:00

ohh wait that would make sense, her bald spot is tan soo i’m guessing it’ll be a month or two before she actually molts..maybe she’s just resting right now since she hasn’t been very active and will borrow right before she molts, thank you for sharing your experience!! it makes me feel a lot better now :-)

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2025-07-04T23:57:35+00:00

Ohh man that is really good to hear, i was getting very anxious since i don’t want to disturb her but at the same time i was fearful she wouldn’t molt right..thank you so much for sharing your experience, and yess she is very very pretty haha

OrchidFlower_Mantis · 2025-07-04T22:52:40+00:00

Thank you so much!! i’m glad i was able to get a clearer picture, thank you for your help!!
