concern for my Arizona Blonde "Sandy"

[Rigor Mortis]

The problem is the ground walnut shell stuff. If you look closely at the pic you can see how it sticks to the spiders abdomen, but also to the scopulae. It is very light and attaches itself to anything via static electricity and spider scopulae are made to stick to trees and stuff. So the walnut shell dust sticks to the spiders scopulae, inhibits normal walking and makes it impossible for her to climb. It's pure torture for the spider. The dust may also stick to the book lungs and inhibit breathing. See how the spider keeps the abdomen? That's not normal. She's wandering because she's desperately trying to get out.

Anyone up for Boina writing a T keeping book? I hadn't even thought anything remotely like this to solve the "she can't climb the walls" issue. (OK not like we want Ts climbing walls but who are we to stop them when they are able to, lol)
