I’ve always been fascinated by turantula’s. She was a birthday present so I didn’t even know I was getting her but when I did I did my research. I know how to look after her, I just made a potentially deadly mistake. I think it was about 2 weeks after spraying my carpet that this happened. Didn’t think the fly spray would still be active. I don’t have a problem with fleas inside just outside where the dog lives but I’ve got them sorted now. the question I need answered is could a cricket that’s contaminated with insecticide kill a 5yr old T? I’m trying to resist the urge to dig her up to make sure she’s alright. I don’t want to disturb her if she’s molting but I’m so worried bout her. the advice I’ve got is to just leave her as there is nothing I can do but for how long? I need to know if she’s alright.</blockquote>
