I have an injured tarantula (long story please dont judge as it was a complete accident) and they are all around her mouth <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> . What shall I do ?! I cant change all the substrate again as it will stress the Ts out too much and it cost a bomb doing it the first time. [ATTACH=full]48289[/ATTACH] Do I just leave them ? They arnt on the healthy tarantulas that I can see, they just float on the water and I've seen a couple on the sides of the tanks. I use anti mites spray on the shelves, I wipe them down with it on a cloth. What am I doing wrong !</p></blockquote><p></p>
