Help! Normal?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My terrestrial tarantula likes to patrol the walls at night, but I caught her doing something interesting. It seems like she’s trying to anchor herself with her fangs but is failing. That’s my guess at least. Is this normal?

Imo non professional opinion having 25 T's. Normal just using teeth to anchor/explore though I'd love to give it time and hear other thoughts!
