[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 225758, member: 29323"] My understanding is that to produce webbing a tarantula needs to exert energy & thus produce & use proteins. So they only do it when they feel a [U]need[/U] to produce webbing. You may not like her idea of home decoration. But it's what she does by nature, when she feels a natural drive to do so. And she is clearly happy in her new enclosure & simply trying to make it feel like home. The only time I ever damage webbing is by accident, when I cannot open a door or remove a lid to feed without doing so. Please don't damage your T's webbing. With a GBB. I put a piece of paper across part of the top of it's enclosure, so that it could web under it & not have me damage it's webbing every time I took the lid off. He appreciated my effort, webbed extensively under the paper & used the areas between the paper & the top of the lid as a little loft area. [/QUOTE]
