In this 2 part video link, I have been lucky enough to be awake and watching at the same time as little Boots, my 3rd instar Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens decides the time is right to improve her webbing. Initially, when I first transferred her to this container, she did a mere 5 minutes worth of webbing, and then proceeded to hide in the tiny space at the base of the 2 leaves for about a week.

Knowing what prolific webbers this species are, I was expecting something a bit more impressive than that, and was worried something was wrong. I consulted Arachnoboards, and later found out that not all slings web immediately after moving into a home. And indeed this was the case. A day after the previously mentioned week of hiding, she moulted into the 3rd instar spiderling, and 3 days after that, took her first pinhead cricket. And this was very much the turning point.

Maybe she was waiting to see if all her requirements were going to met before properly setting up home, but as soon as food arrived (water, air, and webbing anchor points already being there) she caught it very quickly, and then full scale webbing commenced.  

Here she is, strengthening some support lines... note the lack of tarantula pauses - this is an animal on a mission !
