It has moved into a full curl and is no longer moving in any way. It tried using salt water to wipe the moth area and that seems to drive the mites away but it was too late.
I am going to call it here.
Super sad, as I was excited to see this one grow. I have checked every other T in my...
Nothing obvious. I have had this one since March. I buy my feeders weekly, but have recently switched to meal/superworms. This one did not like worms so I bought it and a couple other picky ones crickets. Pretty much all others in my collection have molted since this one last did.
I am hoping...
I have moved it do a dry container and am waiting, but I think it may have been too late. I am now in a semi-panic about the others on that shelf. 2/5 of the others have molted recently and have gotten upgraded enclosures. The enclosures were not touching and had inches of space between them so...
Alright, I moved everyone and checked the mouths of those I could see and they all seem fine. No visible mites in the enclosure. I checked the shelf for them with a microscope and saw none either. The shelf has now been bleached.
The other sling on the same shelf have molted a couple times since this one last did. Most have had an enclosure change too. I am checking them out anyway. Anything else I should do to make sure the others are safe?
No patches. They are on the spiders book lungs too. They look like mites to me. I can't even really see any in the enclosure but that could be due to their size.
I moved it to a container and flipped it over to check for impaction and believe I have a bigger issue on my hands.

Mites I assume?
My I. mira is unresponsive but doesn't seem to be in a complete curl. It is way overdue for a molt (last one was May) and last ate two months ago.
It has been spending the past month out of its' burrow.

I am hoping that maybe it is molting...
Yeah, got to always be aware when opening containers like that. However, I think that was a total uncontrollable reflex. I'm sure he felt bad afterward.
