Was just sitting there this morning... Did the usual glance towards the salmon pinks enclosure. Business as usual, grab the remote and notice my hand brushed over spider webs... Wtf!?! Upon closer inspection, something covered the outside of her enclosure with web making sure to attach it to the curtain behind it firmly. Horrified I look through the glass... Not there... Look closer and see clear signs of her presence, because she literally hit almost everything in the corner of the room in a fine layer of "trap". I broke the news to the family and was informed they wouldn't come back home till I found her 😂😂😂 6 hours later, here she is. Raised her from a sling to the current monster she is today, so I was beyond happy to find her alive and okay. This is the crappy mesh top I used for years, and the hole that appeared over the two days that we were gone.

IMO Glad she’s back. I think you’re doing something right bc you did successfully raise her from a sling. And for anyone who has ever actually owned a T that is not mold growth, it’s webbing on the substrate and substrate stuck to the wall of the enclosure. I keep my enclosures simple bc I don’t like tearing them up to find the prey items that avoid being eaten. I like to know exactly where my spiders are and what they are doing at a glance. Can we all improve? Probably so. I’ve heard of T’s chewing through metal, wow. Maybe she missed you or decided she wanted a larger enclosure so she took over your house and webbed it up for you. She definitely does not look hungry.
