Alright, seems I've run into an issue with a purchase at a local reptile show. I unfortunately have no contact information for the dealer, but I found that the T in question has nematodes. First noticed that the T was moving its fangs as it crawled over my hands. which naturally had me a little curious, thus, I pinched grabbed her where I found a white blob. which well had me a little uneasy. So I took a paper clip and scraped it a way where it started to come alive on a smaller level so I submerged it in water where I almost immediately saw a snow a wigging worms. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of this as Ive just moved and am lacking a good camera that isn't deep in storage.

But long story short, How do I save this spider? If she can be saved.

Yeesh, I'm sorry to hear this. It's a good lesson for everyone-- always get contact information from people you buy from.

I have no personal experience with this but I've found this:

Edit: Here is the full thread about what cold blood was referencing, and it seemed to be a success. http://arachnoboards.com/threads/nematode-bacterial-infection.254858/page-2
