Weird Seemani Behavior

[Bjorgly]

HI all,

My A.seemani has made such a burrow that The flower pot may not be a suitable roof much longer as she continues to dig under it more and more. Anyways, she has completly webbed off the entrance, and often i see a hole in the web where she may have come out for a drink or smething but it is always webbed ALOT and totally 100% shut 90% of the time. It ate just the other day and everything, i thought they only web themselves totally in when their about to molt? or is it just not hungry? she doesnt eat much anyways and is semi-thin but for sure not dangerously thin.

Any insight on why she might be doing this is appreciatd,

Mark

try raising/decreasing:

temperature
humidity
light within the tank

the spider may be trying to keep one of those (or other) factors eith er in or out of its burrow

Sounds like molt to me... my seemani generally eat until the day before a molt
