My spiders poop all the time on front glass of the tank. It doesn't look very nice and after I clean that, in next five minutes there is another one as if the spiders liked to make me angry ... :mad:

Do you guys have any method of preventing spiders from doing that? I was thinking maybe cork bark positioning ... Any ideas ?

They're like birds and clean cars in that regard. :) It's annoying, but I don't think there's anything you can do to prevent it. I just keep cleaning the tank, and remind myself that cleaning tarantula poo is better than cleaning up after other animals. . .like cows.

Try moving everything away from the front of the cage. If your T it catching it's prey there, it's going to poop there.

Yeah mine too.
But my wife always complains because the males usually leave the seat up. ;)

if it is on glass I run the edge of a razor down the glass. It takes 2 seconds, no smell or liquids.

Yes, they use mostly the same area, but my problem is, that area of their choice is usually tank's front glass ... :evil: :wall:

Although I haven't tried the sowbug method yet, I'm pretty sure, that they won't clean that glass ..

On a Ritz or Saltine ??? THAT'S the Question
I would have to say a Ritz. That buttery taste would only ad to the flavor of it all. I just solved my problem of figuring out what to serve on New Years. Great another collection.
