I know this is present in some pokies but does anyone here know if Chaetopelma olivaceum have an extra nymph stage after 2nd instar? Mine just hit 2nd instar but they still look very much like nymphs.
After this fimbriatus, we had a Nhandu sling pass from the same thing. After another mass sterilization, we decided to switch feeder sources as we didn’t know what else to do. Since this time we have not had one issue. I know there is a debate as to if crickets can carry parasites, and I don’t...
Just checked the Ts on the same shelving unit and so far all seems clear. I guess time will tell. I suppose I will euthanize this fimbriatus. She was set to be part of a breeding project in the spring when my males mature so that sucks.
I was under the impression that this fimbriatus was captive bred as it was from a well known dealer but I do not know for sure. Tomorrow I will be doing an in depth investigation of the spider room and all other enclosures and spiders to determine the current situation.
If they all take this hit. I’m out. Emotionally and financially. I just can’t do it anymore if I loose them all. After the years I’ve put in to build this collection and acquire rare females this would be my luck. This has been the year from hell folks let me tell you.
Well looks like it is. That’s about how my year has been going. She has been quarantined and I’m sterilizing all equipment used in her cleaning. Now I guess I just get to sit and wait and hope it doesn’t wipe out the other 200 of my collection.
I got this adult female C.fimbriatus a few months ago. She has been eating normally until a few weeks ago and I noticed some strange behavior so I took her out. Lord please tell me these aren’t nematodes.
