Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tarantula Trooper" data-source="post: 241357" data-attributes="member: 37740"><p>The anus and spinnerets of your T will get a crusty white buildup. My Xenesthis sp. Blue female ( the pain) passed from this ailment I believe. I tried taking a paintbrush to her arse and cleaning her up and stopped feeding for months. Her crusty butt would seem to get better but the crusties would return. She flipped to molt ( been over a year) and thought she might have a chance. Later I returned to find her flipped back over. She crawled into a corner of her enclosure and stayed. I thought to myself she would pass away here and sadly she did. Still not over that loss by no means! Not the money! That was my baby girl and I miss her .</p></blockquote><p></p>
