Probably just needs to molt. I've seen this happen with avics before. Maybe you could get some corkbark and lean it diagonally on the glass.

I already have som bark, tree and kork in the terrarium, but she seems to want to stay in the glas areas, and when she dont, she stays on the bottom of the terrarium

Hi snake1dk,
I,ve noticed this behavior in A.Minatrix,they sometimes come down to the ground to molt. I dont know why but also there climbing is abit weak around molting time,give it something to drink and it will be fine, maybe mist the sides of the glass!

Cheers
Brendan

Thanks for youre advice :)
I have a waterdish in her tank, and i mist a couple of times a week, but she still cant climb the glas, but all in all, it sounds like she's going in to a molt.
Thanks for the replies :) :)

Avic. Minatrix

My little Minatrix did that too, right before "she" shed. :D
