[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 55895, member: 4086"] [ATTACH=full]12052[/ATTACH] The webbing is normal, even G roseas leave a light mat of web all over their enclosure, you just don't see it until you try to move a water dish, or remove a bolus, and a large section of substrate moves because it's all webbed together :) You'll see what I mean when she gets everything to her liking.
