R tarantulas really good at climbin vertically or will they prob fall?

mine kinda slides down the wall if she stops movin
Answers:
We don't let our spider (rose-haired) climb the walls in our house because they will die if they fall from any great height. Actually they don't have to be at a great height that's why you have to be careful standing while holding them because they will die if you drop them.
She lives in a large terranium and like your tarantula she kind of slides down the sides. I bought those net things to stick on the side to help her with traction (lol) but only the crickets use it.
She makes us really nervous when she is upside down so we often "rescue" her when we see her doing that.
You might want to place natural logs (from pet store) of various heights for her to climb onto and hide under. Include one that is almost to the top of her terranium so she can reach it if she decides to climb on the very top.
She shed her skin yesterday; it was really cool she looks all fresh and rosy!
ewww! my brother used to have one. They can jump really far and also climb the side of their cage! Though they are very slow (usually) they can move very fast when they want to.
I think they would be better at climbing anything other then glass.
