Weird Behavior.....

[Spider lass]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for advise. My 2year old Grammostola rosea is behaving very weird.
She successfully molted about 3 weeks ago and has been eating 2-3 locusts once a week since.

She is no longer being defensive or moody. (she was charging before).

I checked on her this morning and she was laying down webbing, she does this alot - her enclosure perimeter is covered in webbing.

But this was different she webbed ''over' herself. She lay on her back (like she was molting) then webbed over her self. She then stayed like this for 5-10mins and then got back up? Shes now sitting on her rock as normal. Surely its too soon for another molt?

I have attached a photo (sorry the quality is awful).

Any ideas or advise would be appreciated
Thanks

My guess would be that she is a he and just reached sexual maturity. Can you get us a more clear picture of what her front legs look like?

Can't see anything in the picture but it sounds like "she" made a sperm web.

No this was take about 2 weeks ago. He/She has been skittish and quick to hide for last week or so so I haven't had him/her out (ohh this is my 9year old niece holding it. looks big in her wee hands)

I just googled ''sperm web'' amongst the NSFW photos I found a few that look exactly like what I saw. Looks like my girl is a wee guy! I'm kinda gutted as as I know he wont have much life left. I will love him all the same! Thanks for all the help

You never know, some rose hair males can live for a year or more after maturing.
