I'm going to pull the trigger and get another T. Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this o_O
My two choices are a GBB or G.Porteri. I really want the GBB but am so leery of all the webbing. I really am concerned about it sitting toward the top of the enclosure when I have to open to feed and water. Is this an issue for anyone? And I also want the G.Porteri because they are docile and just a pretty T too.
How did I go from terrified of spiders to this obsessed T person?? I can't say I wasn't warned.

I have no GBB, but C. versicolor who keeps webbing the top of the enclosure like this

I am a bit twitchy what comes to sudden movements of my Ts, but so far Sreaky has given me zero problems! Usually it either goes to the web tunnel or just sits on the lid like this while I change the water :D On New Year's Eve it took a calm, lazy walk on my arm but even then there was no problems.

If you're unsure about the T sitting on top of the web when you open the lid, a relatively good method is to have enough ventilation holes through which your can gently blow in the enclosure - Sudden airflow is usually enough to make the T retreat a bit.
