[QUOTE="Seekeroftruth, post: 178093, member: 33210"] Aerobic fermented meat is safe for most animals including maggots (including humans... it's called high meat) and I highly doubt that tarantulas are an exception. I would never feed cooked rotted meat to maggots if you plan to feed them to tarantulas as digesting the cooked rotten meat creates toxins (at least in most animals and presumably maggots to some extent. I wouldn't risk it.) I'm no expert on tarantulas but to my understanding, feeding flies/ maggots raw rotten meat/ fish heads ect is fine but again it must be kept aerobic due to the creation of toxins so it need to have airflow frequently or kept open to the air in general. If you don't leave it open to air, It can also create botulism. Botulism can not survive in an aerobic environment. This is why most people get botulims from canned foods and improperly canning their food.... It creates an airtight environment for the bacteria. [/QUOTE]
