My GBB has gotten into the habit of webbing up the lid of it's enclosure, and the design of the enclosure makes it tough to open without substantially disturbing it's home. I have unfortunately discovered too late that I did not do a good job of securing the plastic leaves that form the framework of it's abode. So when I lift up the cover, I'm pretty much lifting up the entire thing, and the spider gets a bit cranky about this, not surprisingly.
Is this just part of the deal with webbing tarantulas, or is there something I can do to prevent it? Should I be looking at a different kind of enclosure in the future? It's still eating fine, and it just goes about repairing whatever damage is done during feeding every time. You can sorta see where it has repaired things. I'd just like to be able to feed it without tearing up it's home every time.
