Loving to pop-in the garage a few hours after turning the light off….

That's awesome, I'm jealous of that heavy webbing! I really want my Tliltocatl albopilosus to web more

Not the right species for that, sorry. Also individuals within a species sometimes differ, T. albopilosus usually only finely mat the ground and their hides.

Your Roofie is gorgeous, my friend!!!

Ah okay, that makes sense as that is pretty much what mine has done (although just barely!)
Do yours get upset when you clean their enclosures? Since I'm assuming you'd have to destroy the webbing for a deep clean... (I've heard conflicting reports on how often to do that and it just seems like it would upset them and stress them out but idk )

You shouldn’t have to clean up the enclosure too often, it is not needed and stress the T. Usually as they grow the clean up is replaced by a rehousing in a bigger enclosure. Once mature and settle in it’s final enclosure, just make sure to clean up the uneaten prey as well as the food “balls” left after they ate by removing them. After that you pretty much only have to remove, clean and refill the water dish. All together the least you move things around the better, let your T customize it’s home the way it would like to

Thanks that's good to know. Now I'm just trying to figure out why he keeps going back and forth between being perfectly fine, and stress curl. I've been leaving him alone entirely though, so there's that lol
