Strange behavior of a Stromatopelma calceatum was created by Jaco

Hi all, I have seen how a T stretches itself out after a molt and read about why they do it, my Feather leg baboon just molted a couple of minutes ago, within a few minutes after molting it climbed to the top of the cage and are hanging from its web by the back 4 legs right now. Can it be its way of stretching out?? I am trying to get a clear pic so that I can post it.

Yeah propably is normal behaviour in aboreals in my experience...
My Avicularia would hang upside down letting its abdomen almost hang past its carapace... was some weird stuff.

When life gives you lemons, wing them right back and add some lemons of your own.

Couple of problems with getting the perfect shot, round enclosure distorts pics from the outside so I cant take a side view of the hanging spider. The size of the spider makes it imposable to get the complete spider in focus with the macro lens, so I focused on the front part to show that the legs are not touching the web. Different angles to try and show that legs are not touching but limited to the design of the enclosure.
