They're only a problem if theres a bunch. Just dry them out, the spider can go a long time without water. Two or three weeks is ok. Continue to feed the spider, but grab the bolus when its dropped. Mites are there for moisture and boli. I've dried my moist sp out several times, it doesnt harm them. Good luck and don't panic <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
