Webbing in a bad spot..

[Chandler Kaze]

So my T is webbing in her new enclosure but shes webbing in a bad spot. I have a tall exoterra that opens from the front. She has started webbing at the top right corner, but it connects to the side of the cage as well as the front wall that moves when I open it. So when I have to open her enclosure to feed or mist or clean, it is going to disturb her each time, or possibly destroy her web. Is there anyway to encourage her to web in a different area? I can open it form the top but it will be really awkward and more difficult for feeding and anything else I would have to open her enclosure for.

After you break the web a few times they'll build it somewhere else or adjust what they started on so its not attached to the door. In my experience, anyway.

I find it interesting. How they catch on to not webbing near doors or enclouser openings after dealing with it breaking from opening.

Yes, especially when their primitive "brains" are supposedly incapable of learning.

I think some of mine know when its feeding time. My versicolor will wait at the end of its funnel web the day before until i give it a roach on feeding day. Unless it in premolt. Sorry to go off topic. I just think its neat.

i have a few that know what feeding day is. any other day i go check water or spot clean they'll run to their hides and watch, feeding day (wednesday and Sunday) when i pick up their enclosures to feed they come out of the hide and wait.

They may have a primitive brain, but i don't buy that they can't learn and can't tell one person from another. I've seen numerous of our T's react different for my son and I. like his schizoid GBB that hates my guts but he can handle or my B. albiceps that tried to bite him but i can handle.

Those are my feeding days as well,haha. I think they learn certain things.

I think a living predator HAS to have the ability to learn, at least to some extent. Primitive nerve cluster brain or not.(And the big brains have no idea what information is exchanged there) Theories are all we have, but I think common sense should get more consideration. A living animal has to have some ability to think and learn, otherwise it's survival is a dubious prospect.

I do believe that tarantulas/arachnids have some learning capabilities. All of them, though certain ones more than others.
May not be higher learning functions but learning nonetheless.

agreed, they wouldn't have survived since dinosaurs if they couldn't learn anything.

They would be eating us back in the dinosaurs time.

I'm working on teaching my GBB algebra.

Gbbs are bad at math. OBT are math wizs tho.

Perhaps we should switch to geometry instead. I'll look forward to the fun shapes she'll make with her web.

That sounds more ups its ally

You will have to share pics of the amazing webs she makes after her geometry course.

no one has the courage to inform a obt that they are wrong!

I would but its always correct
