I have a holconia immanis. He or she don't know yet leaves dead crickets all through the leaf littler and behind the bark. How do I get rid of them without my spider running out. She also squirts white stuff i think poop? All over her enclosure. Its a pretty active little one but I don't want her escaping any tips would be great

I'd probably *just* catch cup it while you clean lol. I've never had a big one yet, my last one looked like I let it get too dry and/or it just had a bad molt at under 1/2". I guess the rest of the answer is spot clean the dead carcasses and use warm water/ paper towels for the rest. razor blades work good for getting poo off glass.

Just spot clean with long tongs like you'd do any other arachnid enclosure with the above suggestions.

If coping with something like an adult venatoria, make a double size enclosure with a wall between two halfs and the ability to slide a partition door closing them apart. Then food tempt the zoomer to the other side when one side needs cleaning.
