Thank you Keith for all the time youve put into this. As stated I will change enclosure tomorrow, I will definitely post the results. I must say you have touched on something else though, I am a smoker also, I do not smoke in my T room, and I keep the door closed but who knows, this will be...

So I have put some thought into this and I have overflowed waterdish and will give this one more day to see if there are any changes in behavior. If after tomorrow there are no changes than I will switch enclosures to a 18 Long x 12 Deep x 7 High critter keeper, making sure the substrate is the...

Thanks she is beautiful, and this is second post about substrate, and dont get me wrong i appreciate the concern, but if you read my first post i was afraid this was a mite problem. This is fresh setup and i have another enclosure ready to be setup same way. You see i read in tarantula keepers...

Thanks for input, i feel better.

Hi everyone, i bought some bark to make an enclosure for versicolor sling enclosure, it was to big so i broke it and noticed tree sap. My question is it bad for tarantulas? Not sure what kind of bark don't think it's cedar. I heard cedar was bad for t's.

thanks everyone

thank you everyone i feel much better.

i do not have a picture unfortunately and the sling is to small to tell if it was directly coming from fangs. The sling was climbing the side of the enclosure and there was a large drop starting to run down side and another drop forming. it has since come down off the side and haven't noticed -...
