Hi everyone,
I was inspecting my 1 inch baby G.pulchra's jar (with 2 inches of peat moss, half of it wet for substrate) for cricket remains to remove, and i saw a bazillion little grey super super small bugs, sorta looked like super super small flies. I immediately put the spider in a vial, washed the jar out with soap and rinsed it wel, added about 1-1.5 inches of peat, and wet 1/2 of it again for humidity. I think this time i will let it dry up more until it wet it again. What were these little bugs? there were TONES of em, i would have taken a pic but they were far to small to show up. Think any of them could be still on my tarantula or infected it??
Any input appreciated, as this has never happened to me before and there are none in my geniculata's cage, as the substrate is mostly wet in her cage too as she enjoys spilling the water dish all over the place frequently.
Thanks!
