my male GBB used to have a lovely web that i destroyed. i had to get him into a new tank so his old web is now history. he also molted this past month and is still thin. i didnt have much to feed him except a cricket and some moths, but that was b4 his transfer. still thin and no new web, but he has put down a mat of webbing, but hasnt used the halved flower pot hide i gave him. today i finally gave him 2 crickets and is currently eating both at the same time, gotta love a T that chases 1 crick while eathing another ;P . so when he gets back to a healthy looking state, do you think he will create another web? do they need to have food in their system to create webs? or is he just pissed at me and thinks if he creates a new web that id take it down again (its my 2nd time transfering his tanks, so 2nd time destroying his web)?
need food to web?

well, I think it just needs time to adjust to the new surroundings. It' might have stressed it out a little when transfering it to the new tank. The fact that he's eating is a good sign though. I wouldn't worry too much, just give him it time to adjust.

How long has he been in his new enclosure?? It can take a while for them to rebuild. Also, as they get bigger, they don't really tend to web as much IMO. How big is it??
