    Just in case......

    Have you considered using an acrylic cement to fasten the hinges and hasps? Once cured after a day or two there shouldn't be any concerns with fumes or the like, and since the application is on the outside it should be safe.

    Acanthoscurria on the loose

    On two different escapes of a Smithi I had: 1st was found behind my computer where the air exhusted from the tower, and second time was tucked up in the printer which is always on. Warm places serve them well for hides.

    P. rufilata surgery update.

    I would think if it's like an infectious sac it would be incapsulated from the general abdominal organs. If you should elect syringe therapy I would think you could exaspirate the contents of the capsule without any other goodies if you weren't too agressive with the draw. Just MO, either way...

    P. rufilata surgery update.

    You may try the syringe/needle method if you should try it again, TL. It seems less invasive and leaves a smaller wound to seal. It should also reduce the area for bacteria to possibly invade. Oh and maybe a slight local antiseptic to clean the site prior to doing it. Just a suggestion. Oh...

    Recovery?

    Bob, I agree with another reader who mentioned possibly using a syringe and needle to aspirate the abcess. This minumizes the site from more bacteria and provides a smaller surface to seal. I know from the looks like aseptic technique may not be a major factor, but when we attempt these...

    Eco earth PLEAS HELP

    I understand the eco is more resistant to mold and mildew than peet. Thats my take. I'm sure either is fine for the comfort issue.

    A true example of determination (A.Borealis/A.Semmanni update)

    You certainly have a right to your opinions, HMS. Unless you can magically analyze people through their responses and compliments, your off base with your assumption as well. Maybe the forum could put a "Soap Box" category up for you to get things off your chest.

    Solifugid kills dog??

    Anyone with the predisposition could be allergic to venom or saliva or predigestive salivations regardless of the toxicity or absence thereof. Heck people react like that from peanuts. Nothing to do with the toxicity of the bite from arachnids it's the sensitivity of the victim. Oh and wether...
