P regalis webbed herself?!

[Mundo exotico]

Hello all. I notice today that my p regalis webbed around her but and doesnt move for some hours. I think it can be normal because yesterday she ate. Today I notice that she was in the picture position for some hours. What I think is strange is that she webbed also around her body and doesnt move. Do you think she is in pre molt or molting? I can take another pic

Hard to tell. Webbing oneself in, be it a dirt curtain or more open like your T, is common behavior with Pokies. It could be pre-molt. Time will tell. I can't get a good look, but are you sure it is a "she". There should be some bright yellow and grey in her legs one a regalis reaches 4 inches DLS.

Thanks. I dont know if it is a she or he. I just thought it was weird webbing itself but maybe normal behavior. Its my first pokie please give me a discount It has some yellow on legs but its still around3 inches max.

At that size, it could certainly be a she. Here is what a mature female looks like:

Yes I agree. Tarantulas usually web a lot before molting
