[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 53819, member: 4086"] You shouldn't worry too much Kymura, all of our spiders have leftovers in their enclosures that we miss, or can't see. It's only a problem when we don't put any effort into keeping them tidy, I think. Mites are by no means rare, either, I think most people who keep spiders have had to pull one out and completely clean it's enclosure a few times. I know I have. If it ever becomes a problem, remember that most spiders can do well in a completely dry enclosure for a month, no water dish or misting. Mites can't. Any left over from an enclosure wipe will die very quickly without water or prey remains to eat. I've never used isopods, but I've been considering them for my moisture dependent species. I've never read anything bad about them at all, just remember they don't do well in dry enclosures either..;) [/QUOTE]
