My A. Francki has been behaving strangely. I'm not sure of the sex. Every other day s/he comes out to wander the cage for up to a day, before retreating into her/his burrow, and repeating the cycle the next couple days. The terrarium
hasn't been webbed up as much as a typical A. Francki would. S/he also ignores or even runs from small crickets. Any feedback? Here's some pics:

I'd give her a lot more more web anchors.
It's been my experience that they favor webbing closer to the ground though.
I don't know if it's a species thing, but mine at least in incapable of climbing glass or smooth surfaces.

Update: She may be gravid. I've tried a variety of setups, to no success. She is getting fatter yet not eating. My other possibility is a silk blockage. Not sure.
