[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 218464, member: 36911"] Hi, I noticed this on facebook. A company is selling female T. stirmi and while not specifically stated, it sounds like WC. "Looking for a big spider to add to your collection? We have just added some hold back Theraphosa stirmi females to the website! These have all molted in our care and there is no chance of an internal parasite!" I have copied and pasted the wording (except the ") My question is whether internal parasites are removed with a molt. I would think that would depend on where the parasite infects its host. I am hoping this prompts some discussions as this and other forums seem slow these days. I initially thought the end of summer start of school in some area may play a part, but there is also a lot going on in the world. Some of it not good. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
