hello all! Quick question for all the veteran and expirenced T owners... what tarantula that you have owned webs the most? Or what is the tarantula that webs the heaviest? I’m curious because I see my little gbb web quite a bit but may be willing to get something else that webs even more :)

GBBs web a lot, OBTs, Chilobrachys and Heterothele are good webbers as well. My Chilobrachys are the heaviest webbers I personally have.

My Orphnaecus Sp. "Cebu" is the heaviest webber I have. In my opinion this species is the heaviest webber in general.

E. pachypus is a close second.

My Neoholothele incei is my fastest and heaviest webber. (This is a dwarf species with no urticating hairs.)

My Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens has webbed a good amount, but it took him a lot longer to get there.

My Dolichothele diamantinensis made a web tunnel and covered it with substrate. (This is a dwarf species with no urticating hairs.)

My Avics web most during pre-molt. They primarily make tubes and platforms.

My Psalmopoeus cambridgei gradually expands on her dirt curtained retreat.

IME, N. incei is the heaviest webber. Mine has webbed the entire surface of its (relatively small) enclosure. I plan on rehousing it so that it webs even more :) P. murinus are fantastic as well, as they tend to make large web fortresses in corners. My big female took a while, but her webbing is now pretty epic. The only other "heavy" webber I own is probably H. villosella, which is a very skittish OW dwarf. So far, she has made a nice web cluster/tunnel in the back, but I hope she makes even more as she just molted a few weeks ago. Seeing as you like like more of a "beginner" to the hobby, most of the NW dwarf species are heavy webbers. N. incei seems to fit, as they have relatively mild venom and are beautiful ;) Here are some pics of my T's enclosures. They go as follows; incei, murinus, then villosella :D

Nobody's going to mention M. balfouri? Yhey might not be the MOST webby, but they do a pretty fair amount IMO.

Edit: Oh yeah, and as others mentioned Psalmopoeus do some really cool webbing too bit it is very different as they tend to fill/cover the web with dirt.
