[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 123306, member: 26980"] There is a disease known as dks that is virtually 100% fatal to tarantulas. If you have to ask about a chemical, assume the answer is no. Various chemicals have been suspected as a cause (s) of this. Not a lot is known about their physiology and a lot of basic questions still aren't answered. When you dig into the details, the gaps of knowledge are quite shocking. I don't even go near mine if I have cologne on or even just after putting gel in my hair before it dries. If I'm doing anything with chemicals, such as using soft scrub in the bathroom, I don't go near them until I take a shower and change all my clothes and decontaminate. Better safe then sorry!! Cedar wood as a substrate or in the area is also a big no no. [/QUOTE]
