I know from browsing this isn't the first time this question has been asked but I can't locate an old thread to look in for advice.
I was picking dead cricket corpses out of my g. rosea tank tonight (well not really corpses, the little yuck balls a T. leaves behind) and I thought I saw something move out of the corner of my eye...I was trying best not to disturb the webbing my T. layed on the ground. Which, btw, my T has been staying out of its hide lately, has been kinda sluggish and won't eat and it layed the most amount of web I have ever seen it lay on one whole side of its 10 gallon tank. So I am assuming it's ready for a molt soon...it will be the first time it will have molted since I got it almost a year ago. But after further inspection and moving some dirt around I found there are itty bitty crickets in its tank. A female must of escaped capture long enough to lay eggs and they hatched. But there are tiny tiny crickets everywhere. So my question is...I don't wanna like...ruin all his hard work with the floor web and make him do that over again...and stress him out by giving him a fresh clean tank when hes probably close to molting just to get rid of tiny tiny crickets...or should I because he might be stressed with them in there? I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. :?
