[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 132616, member: 26980"] What I'm saying is that you should knock out a tarantula prior to euthanasia the same way you would for a curable but serious condition requiring intervention, for example a leg off or minor hole in the abdomen requiring corn starch. They don't necessarily have the larva when the situation is stopped while the wasp is dragging it. In many cases, the wasp will drag it into the burrow first and then lay the egg. Of course, if the egg is physically removed with tweezers prior to hatching, it might or might not also be saved. If a T is paralyzed, chances are that pain receptors are also not functioning as well. From what I've found, it's like gradually awakening from a coma. Don't give up!! It's scientifically important and good for the hobby to attempt to cure tarantulas whether or not the treatment succeeds. [/QUOTE]
