Curly hair questions

I recently purchased a Honduran curly hair tarantula. I've noticed that when it walks around either in its cage or on the floor when I was checking it out earlier, it drags a stream of webs where ever it goes. Just kinda curious if this is normal or what's going on. Thanks a lot!

They're trip lines to detect prey. They'll web them all across the substrate then sit in their hide or burrow (as slings and young juvies anyway) and wait for prey to hit one of those lines. Helps them find the food with their poor vision.
