Clean out enclosure?

Am I supposed to ever remove the web that my greenbottle blue has created? He has built tunnels that I don't want to mess up, but the web on top has gotten pretty dirty from where he eats crickets.

There are also white spots in the enclosure. Are those normal?

Just spot clean what you can them white patches is most likely tarantula waste . If you remove some of the webbing it mostly like web it up again. Just take care when doing maintenance in your Ts enclosure .

I have cleaned my GBBs web a couple times. She just webs again. She likes to web over her water dish and the area nearby gets messy. I take out part of her web when I clean the bowl.
At first I thought the white spots would be spider poo but when I looked at the photos, I'm not too sure.

Those white spots are just waste & will do no harm. As for cleaning out your T's enclosure.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo, please don't. Would you remove furniture from someones home? Your T does not web because it wants to, it webs because it needs too. It's how it needs it's enclosure to feel safe & to gather food.
