[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 45580, member: 1393"] I would guess pre-molt or stress. I would check and make sure your enclosure set up is meeting all the needs of your species (temp/humidity, etc.). Also, is there uneaten food (i.e. crickets, roaches) wandering around? Sometimes that can stress out a T that is not hungry and I have seen them web up to keep the intruder out of the burrow. Although I have a gorgeous, healthy [I]Haplopelma hainanum[/I] (Chinese Bird Eating Tarantula) that spends most of the time in its burrow. She webs over the opening quite frequently(almost daily) and then removes it. Almost like it is her window to the outside world. None of my other T's do that. Watched her tear through it effortlessly to grab a cricket once. Right time, right place. If you think it may be stress, get us a description of the set up and there are many, many [I]grammostola[/I] owners out here that should be able to help. [/QUOTE]
