Housekeeping for pet holes/webs

[user 666]

New T owner here too...I have a GBB pretty much the same size as OP, and he does the same thing with his molts. The thing is, he also does the same thing with the...boluses? Boli? Dead bodies. It's a freakin horror show in there. They don't seem to bother him and I'd rather leave him alone if it's not an issue. He seems pretty comfortable hanging out with his kills. Do I leave it alone? Wait for him to come out and clean it out then?

I have a C marshalli that is almost as bad.

it's web tunnels are a mix of dirt bits, boluses, and bodies.

I've named it Jeffrey.

One nice part of keeping GBBs is they are kept bone dry. I don't worry over a bolus I can't remove-- it will dessicate and there is little in a dry enclosure to attract mites/mould, etc..

[exception to rule would be if GBB deposits its waste in its water dish (never personally had this happen)... but then it would be a different scenario]

Awesome, good to know. Also good to know they need to be bone dry, cuz thats how Ive kept his enclosure. Really wish I found this board at the start of this hobby instead of listening to the jackass at the pet store

I was referring to juvie --> adult GBBs.
I've never raised a tiny GBB sling before.

Possibly a daft question but until now it hasn't been an issue as all my Ts were on display pretty much constantly.

How do you do routine housekeeping without disturbing the T and trashing their hole or Web?

My Gbb moulted this week but is still staying inside her web tunnel... and the molt is in there with her. I can't see any way to remove it without destroying the web.
Similar question... my P sazimai and N chromatus are both pet holes currently. Are they likely to stay hidden when they molt and if so will the kick out the molt afterwards?

The brachys are so much less complicated lol.

I don't bother any Ts that are down in holes, they usually push stuff out that they don't want in their burrow....My other Ts do the same.

When it comes to removing uneaten food if its in eye sight I'll just take it out...Ts always break down their designs and rebuild them..it won't bother them too much.

Just brought 8 N Chromatus, before doing so I read on a few posts here that the bigger they get the more they stay out in the open.

I have some PS slings too but I don't recall what I read on them however I think they usually hide.
