I've got a g. pulchripes that does that. She apparently missed the terrestrial memo.

This is why I prefer not to use tanks with screens anymore. They seem drawn to hang upside down under them, even when all environmental aspects of the tank seem fine, and put themselves at risk. Although for what it's worth, I too had a T do this while gravid. But I attributed it to being recently W/C and trying to get out, and still do.

My G. porteri does the same thing - though she is in a kritter keeper so it does not have one of those metal mesh lids. Actually I have heard they can get their feet stuck in those metal mesh lids.

The conditions for mine are textbook but she still climbs I've seen her on the side of the enclosure - mostly at night. Sometimes they just like to climb.

I had a T get stuck and I had to remove it from the screen lid, luckily it survived . I have heard sad stores of them hanging themselves on screen lids.
