Silk floor a bad thing?

Hi.

I'm new here and new to Tarantulas, so apologies for the possible paranoia.

I've had my female curly (7cm) for about 3 weeks now. Today, when I took out her water, basically the whole surface of the substrate came along as a "carpet" attached to the bowl.

Friend of mine's curly does not do this.

Is this indicative of something wrong with the enclosure?

Thanks!

I'm not impossible. I'm being improbable.

My curlies also do that. I just brush off the webbing from the water bowl when I clean it. Like this the remainder of the "carpet" remains on the substrate

Thanks for the replies.

Good to know others do it too.

I doubt molt as she did right before I got her and she fed yesterday?

Hi and welcome to the site,

Nothing wrong with your spider, and nothing to worry about.
Spiders often lay lines of silk/webbing as the walk around the enclosure.

All my Brachypelma albopilosum (Curlyhair) do this.

Mine too. They seem to like a little bit of Interior Decorating but their tastes in Decorl leave a lot to be desired.
