My rosie doing the spider sprawl

[SPIDERBYTE]

Occasionally when she's really relaxed, and sure that I'm not going to mess with her cage or otherwise disturb her, she come out of hiding, and does this:
Other times she spreads out like a pokie.

Haha, that's great, my G. rosea was doing exactly the same thing about an hour ago.

Here is an old pic of her cage, I have since added a lot more substrate so she at least has a soft landing if/when she wants to do that again.

I am using that coco-peat or eco-earth stuff, in fact that pic is from shortly after switching from bark chips (which is what she had in the petstore)
It was slightly moist which made her climb that time, however, I have seen her climb just cause she feels like it. The cage is a 12 by 12 inch exo-terra.

I saw her recently try to climb and started to slip, then "poomp" she was back on the ground (I dont know if she fell off, or jumped off because she knew she was slipping anyway) Then she just casually sauntered off to her hiding spot, reminding me of how a cat does something stupid or funny and tries to make it look like "yeah I MEANT to do that" Meanwhile I'm all :eek:
And the T is probably thinking ;P boy did I surprise him!
