You could be basically making concrete,  that could cause booklung and anus problems.  You need to watch the silt, ash and clay levels. Test a small amount with water and see if it gets pasty.  Looks as if you have too much head room in your enclosure. A Brachypelma auratum should be in a low profile enclosure. [ATTACH=full]60555[/ATTACH]Don't forget the water dish either. They need to drink invtge desert.[ATTACH=full]60557[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
