ok most bizzare thing ive ever seen, my mature male G. Rosea has made a bed of web, but he isnt just laying on it, hes actually INSIDE IT. his abdomen and his 4 bottom legs are under this sheet of web, just his top 4 legs and pedipalps are out spreaded.

anyone know what he is doing? is he dying or? ive had him a while.......
