Hi everyone, I haven't posted here for a while, mostly because I sort of lost interest. Lately I have been pretty discouraged from keeping tarantulas. Here comes the bad news, I have not been able to keep tarantulas alive. All but one have died off from Diskinetic Syndrome. Over the course of a few years I have lost 5 tarantulas from DKS. They have all been juveniles or slings, the one survivor is an adult B. Albopilosum. I have been very careful with chemicals and stuff, but have had no luck. At this point I am almost sure that it's caused by pesticides being sprayed at the vineyards on both sides of my house. I feel like I've really lost touch with this great hobby and I remember how much I used to love it! This makes me want to get more tarantulas, but I fear/know what will happen if I do. So yeah, I'll try to stick around the forum just to observe I guess.
