Some of these pictures show some extensive webbing. I've had a P.Chordatus for 4 months now and she exhibits very little webbing. At the moment, she's in a burrow in the corner of her tub, tunneled right down to the plastic (so I can see her in there) with a mound of dirt pressed up covering the entrance. Is this normal or is there a chance I'm doing something wrong?

She's only eaten once in those four months, and though I know spiders can go a long time without eating (I read somewhere that most Pterinochilus can go 1-2 years without food) I do worry a little. Picture attached (though forgive the quality, it's a phone camera as my digital is out of commission at the moment). I can give more info if needed. Please PM or EMail me... =S

Is she even Chordatus? I can never tell the difference between them; she was sold as Murinus but I'm pretty certain she's not. She has the little triangle 'dags' down her abdomen rather than those two little dots (I have a Murinus as well, but she's camera-shy).
