this is the one that i was askin u all about Y wouldent it burrow.

i woke up this morning and it had the whole cage webbed up the whole side on all four sides even over the botom an its watter dish,
an i forgot to say when i first put it in its new cage it made a complete webb tightly around its whole body i took it outa that to put deeper cocofiber in.

I'm confused. I thought you traded your bigger cobalt for one that was 1-1/2 inches?

A pic of the webbing and the spider would be useful.

OK, would still need to see some pics to tell what is going on. Most likely just webbing up to make things more homely. DOesn't sound like a typical cobalt though. Usually only webs inside burrow. Is it in a small container? Maye it thinks it is in its burrow?

Pics?

The cage might be a little small. How are you measuring the spider? A tue measurement is diagonally across the legspan from Leg 1 on one side to Leg 4 on the other side. Can you get some pics?
