The webbing thread

[EulersK]

Here's my juvie C. fimbriatus, bolted into her web tunnel when the lid was removed. She is in the open most of the time.
@EulersK, tiki from Kahiki Polynesian restaurant?

Yeah, C. fimbriatus is a great display spider... so long as it's left alone!

Nope! Here's a hint: "Here's a story, of a lovely lady, who was bringing up three very lovely girls."

My A. avicularia web tunnel a while ago. She has destroyed most of it now.

P.cambridgei

Wimpy is your average web/mess with dirt (like they love mostly) P.cambridgei. Now she (i suspect she's a female but need another molt) is behind the cork, disappearing for pre-molt time.

Btw the enclosure is the classic, cheap, glass made Germany/Hungary one/s we love to use in Europe :-s

Haha, can`t forget that Wimpy vid friend.. Wimpy just love that name, fits just perfect for a Psalmo though i am not into the naming of T´s. But i like this one.

Something a bit different in the webbing department...

What amazing, beautiful pictures. And to think that stuff has a tensile strength approximating that of steel.

I definitely recommend getting one of them, she's been a joy. Other than the feeling of the web, they act exactly like a normal dwarf tarantula. They are prettyong lived as well. Not sure exact life spans, but I've had my mature female for two years now.

Just took a side view of casa de Pants:



Pretty intricate. Lots of entrances and exits. She actually made a little hallway that joins her "living room" to her water dish. She's a character.

P.murinus

Again, pic taken prior the molt. Now this baby isn't that much of a web lover, she web more "inside" the burrow (i offered her a cork and lot of inches of substrate) rather than outside (i have an happy water dish of course) :-s

Ah ah, unlike her enclosure neighbour C.marshalli, after the molt, she turned more reclusive than before if that's possible (now i feed her directly from her burrow entrance: tongs, cricket, little jump of the crick, chelicerae, 'OBT' dance, done.

My OBT is the same exact way. She webbed a little on top of her little dirt burrow and just sits in the swallow hole on the side where I can see her. Not much of a good hiding spot. Lol

My Avicularia metallica female has a nice web going on right now.

 

[KezyGLA]

Trusty Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens. Sometimes messy. Sometimes art. Here are 2 of mine. One which has made a web tornado.

On that second picture, give that spider some anchor points! Fake plants, chopsticks, BBQ skewers, something. It has nothing to build a web off of.

Ok that second picture, give that spider some anchor points! Fake plants, chopsticks, BBQ skewers, something. It has nothing to build a web off of.

It has plenty. It just doesn't look like much as it is a birdseye view. It has made its own burrows with funnel webbing under the 2 bits of cork bark that it has in there and it has also used some of the airholes as anchor points.

I try not to go OTT on these enclosures as they are only temporary.

 

[Toff202]

Not a tarantula, but definitely heavy webbing. Linothele megatheloides

 

[Shawnee]

@Toff202 What a lovely home your megatheloides made! What size enclosure do you have for yours?

@TomKemp Your avic's webbing reminds me of a canterbury cross lol

 

[Toff202]

@Toff202 What a lovely home your megatheloides made! What size enclosure do you have for yours?

Indeed, it's amazing! Her enclosure size is 12x8x12 inches. In the end, I should've given her a bigger enclosure, because literally everything apart from the top is webbed up.

Looks like it's working fine though With my fossorial I feel as though she'd dig 100 feet down if I'd let her lol. We gotta stop somewhere

 

[YagerManJennsen]

Anyone have webbing pictures of
Oligoxystre diamantinensis?
