What tarantula spins the most webs

[LirvA]

I've been pretty fortunate to have a good variety of spiders that I've kept over the years and think back at some of the crazy webs they make. Heck, there's tons toward the top as far as webbing: chilobrachys, avics, malaysian earth tiger, obt, pokes, skeletons, sun tiger, so many, too many to name them all even. :drool:

Niloticus

What is the latin name for skeletons?

I actually have never heard of skeletons till the other day I saw a thread about them here on AB and thought it was a joke

Ebhebopus murinus.

You can find a list of scientific to common names here:

I'd have to disagree. Pokies don't really web that much. They tend to use more substrate than actual webbing. Ephebopus dig burrows...

As for REAL heavy webbers, you can't go wrong with Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, Pterinochilus murinus or Monocentropus balfouri.

I've always been told GBB make the best webs.

My Chilobrachys huahini layers the entire floor, then starts covering the walls! 2nd guess would be GBB!!
Although, C. huahini are VERY defensive and fast! Mine also hisses!

Not exactly a tarantula, but L.megattheloides not only webs up the floor, but also adds new floors to the enclosure. They are extremely beautiful. One thing to note is their long spinnerettes. They're relatively new to the hobby, so it would be nice for a change

My best tube webbers are:
Pterinochilus murinus
Holothele incei
Psalmopoeus cambridgei
Psalmopoeus pulcher

My GBB (mature males that have passed) were great webbers, but they didn't really do tube webs. They just webbed up everything in their enclosures.

My P. pulcher has an awesome system of tube webs all through her enclosure. However, I can't get good pics from the outside, due to her webbing up the walls. These were taken from inside her tank, and so you can only see one tunnel at a time. If you could see all of them, and how they go all through the plants and branches, you would get a better idea of how cool a webber she is---


P. cambridgei

+1 for C.fimbriatus.
Mines just a 1/2" sling just now and already its vile is so full of web I can't see a thing haha.

Heterothele villosella webs nice webs as well.
