I've had a pinktoe now for about 2.5 to 3 weeks and in all this time she's has yet to create any sort of roost with her webbing. Is this a sign that conditions aren't right or is it "natural"?
My setup is quite impressive <patting my own back here> - she's in a 5 gal aquarium tank, screen lid, ornate driftwood "tree" with faux leaves and a rock base, 50/50 mixture of natural potting soil and peat about 2 inches thick, 70-76% humidity with a air circulating pump (to simulate air current and prevent stagnation), and a 80/75 temp (day/night). I use an 11-hour light/dark cycle (enclosure is next to my scorps, so this is more or less for their comfort). <pictures in process>
She's rather mobile and though she seems more partial to the glass, she can be seen on the ground occassionally. She moves around periodically, but by no means constantly (which I perceive to be normal, judging by all the info I've read). Sadly, I haven't seen anything, anywhere, regarding behavioral traits of webbing/not webbing in their cages.
My Rosie made a beautiful mess of webbing not 1 hour after being introduced to his cage... that's why I bring this up.
Any ideas?
