My GBB recently molted (~1-2 weeks ago) and has since been avoiding the substrate. Apparently it removed 90% of its webbing today and is hanging out on the walls and the top an awful lot. Any ideas?
I wasn't sure if this was a "rosea" effect, where it's just what they do, or if it might be something more serious. I can think of a great number of variables, but none that may actually pertain to its situation.
He's kept in a small critter keeper, is about 1.5 inches (legspan), 3 inches of substrate, a small coke bottle top for water.
I note no small insects or mites crawling around as well as nothing on/around it. Also, if there's something actually occurring in its enclosure, is it a factor that may be widespread?
Thanks.
Addendum: is it wise to remove "old" webbing; that is, webbing that has "water damage" or is just generally old and whatnot?
