[QUOTE="entomology, post: 23575, member: 517"] Diskinetic syndrome by entomology This is an on-going issue and I thing a rather interesting one due to the fact many people have lost their “ pet” tarantulas with DKS. Dks.. is a form of cerebral paralysis involving the direct nerve endings of the nervous system of the tarantula to stop functioning over a few days or even hours. Symptoms could be the result of metals or chemicals in the water supply Bacterial build up Temperature and humidity controlled incorrectly “Stress” Climate and altitude These are all just ideas and assumptions but think it is a good topic to discuss and get peoples experiences on the subject.
