Message: <blockquote data-quote="desert blond enthusiast" data-source="post: 51310" data-attributes="member: 4061">Thank you Chubbs, I'm still very much a novice with owning a T although I've been fascinated with them since childhood. For anyone who might know: (These are really just questions out of curiosity) Reggie has lined the entire (and I mean pretty much the entire) floor of her enclosure with webbing, but not a noticeable layer like I've seen in many pictures on the forum.  The only reason I knew the webbing was even there was because I went to clean out her water dish and a very lengthy layer of webby cocofiber trailed along with it like a dirty cape.  Is this normal behavior for a terrestrial?  If so, why is she doing this?  Also I've noticed with the coconut substrate that Reggie gets dirty very easily, to the point of where she's got dirt all up around her eyes too: is it helpful to her for me to help remove the dirt somehow for her or should I let her be?    I would love to be able to share this knowledge with the students as they have been asking me these questions.Thank you in advance.</blockquote>
