[QUOTE="Poffypoffa, post: 227124, member: 43356"] I recently reworked setup in my A. chalcodes enclosure. She seems comfortable and has made a home in her cave for the first time, where she has been spending 90% of her time the past three days. She comes out to drink once per night. She recently ate 3 crickets, but did not go out hunting for them--she waited until they walked in front of her cave. I have not seen her kick out the boluses. This morning I woke up and she had spread some fine webbing over the hole of her cave. It's very thin, but she doesn't have an obvious opening. Anyone have a guess what's up? She could be in pre-moult, but then I wouldn't expect her to have eaten so well. Is this just everyday spider decor, and she'll make her way through? This is my first T (or invert of any kind) so I have no idea what to expect. Some online seem to have reported similar when their Ts were first settling in. I had a very hard time with the photo. You can see a few web strands, but in person there are multiple strands of ultra-fine webbing criss-crossing across the front of the hole. All the dirt outside is from her excavating. Should I prod through that dirt a bit to see if there might be a bolus in there? Or leave it all alone? It's a bone dry enclosure save the water dish. [/QUOTE]
