Hi guys bought a female GBB about a month ago and she is yet to web anything in her enclosure just wondering if this is normal. She is a sub adult. Will post some pics of her enclosure

Are you sure it's a female? Usually, mature males only make sperm webs and won't web the entire enclosure like a sling, juvenile (male or female) or female will. It could also be due to the fact it has a new home and trying to adjust to its new surroundings. Some tarantulas exhibit this type of behavior when exchanging enclosures.

I've had several spiders be slow starters when it came to webbing in new enclosures, my female GBB was one of them

As long as everything else is going well, don't over-think it and make sure it always has access to clean water

Thanks casey I got her off a very reputable guy at so many legs where I get most of my tarantulas. Guess I will have to wait for a molt then I can sex it
