hi all.
ok so i just had to take my cobolt blue out of her tank because i found some more mold, or fungus. if i had a picture id show you but i dont so ill do my best to explain.
its yellow and fluffy. this time it grew on some wood in her tank which i took out, at the moment im drying out her tank while she is in a temp tank.
while cleaning her tank though i noticed some small mite like creatures in her burrow, which i have cleaned out too.
i dont want to dig up her whole tank and have to start again, she seemed settled
i am confused as to what to do, everyone thinks diffrent.
the tarantula keepers guidebok says keeping your haplopema spiders dry is ok for them even though they are tropical, but alot of other books and ppl say they need it to be real humid, and this is why the mold grows and the mites start.
what are your opinions, how do you keep your cobolt blues and thialand blacks?
i know there not swamp dwellers thank god!
and what should i do, totally redo there tanks, or put them back in and not worry about the mold, as some ppl say its harmless, as they have mold in the wild, so it wont effect them.
i just want them to be happy and healthy.
my cobolt is eating great, my minax hasnt eaten yet or started a burrow, she just stays in the corner, another question maybe but any advice on how to make her comfortable enough to burrow, the substrate is the same as my cobolts so its fine for burrowing.
sigh im just so anxious, stupid i know but ive delt with scuttle fly before and thats how my last H.minax died, didnt clean out the dead food from her burrow...
so anyone?
im sorry if im annoying with all the questions but this is a serious matter so please give me your wisdom
maybe some pictures of setups would help too ...
ok im pushing it....
