My 1 year-old L.P. is exhibiting some strange walking patterns. I think it’s forming a sperm web, but I’m not sure. It keeps pacing and turning around in a small area with its body held high above the ground and the spinnerets dragging on the ground. Anyone know what’s happening?

Send pics. Hard to know what’s going on just from description.
Could be a molt mat. Or maybe just webbing to make a nice place to hang out.

Ah, it’s just webbing up its food. It put the prey item down, webbed over it, then picked it up again. They also like to eat on a web mat, so that’s what the other webbing is about.
