Came home from school and checked on Shelob. She's sitting by the heat pad and there's a small white thing on her abdomen. I'm not talking about the patches caused by flicking hairs, I know what those are and I see that she has a couple of those. Can you all see the little white puff there?
(Sorry the pics can't be better quality; my stupid $400 digital camera doesn't exactly live up to expectations when photographing indoors.)
I haven't once overfilled her water dish yet since she got here, and the enclosure is well-ventilated (mesh top tank). The only thing I feel guilty for is that about 10 days ago I put a really small cricket in there that I'm afraid got lost. I couldn't find it anywhere in the tank, so I put a new layer of substrate all over the tank. The cricket was REALLY small though, and this is a brand-new setup so I was hoping that it wouldn't attract any mites.
Please tell me those aren't mites...
