Webbing removal

Rehousing the arboreals.

Normally I wouldn't put much thought into this but my Avic Avic has built, and remains upon, this amazing, huge, thick web. A good 6-7 inches in diameter.

Is there any possible way for me to 'rehouse' the web in with him? Anyone tried this?

usually it gets messy for me to try to do that. i say just use a pencil or whatever and don't bother trying to rehouse the web with the spider. it will just build a new one.

unless: the web is stuck on some object that you can move into the other cage (like a big plant or something). other than that i think you're just gonna have to move the spider.

Ditto, and some people think that putting a little bit of the old web in the new enclosure hleps the T settle in, but this is not a web transplant so to speak.

web transplants are useless since the T will just construct another one anyways. as long as there's not a constant problem of the web falling apart, the stress factor is low and naturally another one will be made.

That makes sense what Travis said. I know that spiders in the wild often eat their webs when they go to relocate as a lot of precious protein is locked up in those things. Can't let it go to waste!
