Why does it do this?

[erika357]

My 3" P Cambridgei has been carrying substrate (coco fiber) up from the bottom of the cage and weaving it in its web. Literally the whole web is covered in substrate. I was just wondering if anybody else's T does this? Or does anybody have any guesses why it is doing that?

It's normal. My P miranda did the same thing. I always assumed all that extra decorating was to make the t feel better hidden could be wrong.

both my P. cambridgei and my P. regalis do this, its normal.

My p.irmini does the same thing they like privacy i guess

All my OW-style arboreals do this (for pics, see this post of mine from an earlier thread on arboreals). It's their way of putting up curtains for privacy, LOL.

Thanks! I didn't think anything was wrong with it. Just curious if it was common. Appreciate the responses!

As everyone else has said, it is perfectly normal. They are usually called dirt curtains!

One of my P. cambridgei slings does it, my P. pulcher and T. gigas do it a lot... but one of my male OBTs has gone crazy with it!

It's interesting to watch them do it, I think
