I think she shoots poop in and all over her bark substrate tunnel and the inside rots, I did a torch examination again and it was as green and grotty as fairyland. So she has new bark again which initially she was quite annoyed about but is now burrowing under it. She doesn't have a designated poop place so grot builds up everywhere. I don’t want to keep rehousing her so what do you think is reasonable in terms of a clean up schedule. Change bark every 3-4 months. Full change every 6-12 months. None of my other spiders seem to create so much mould! She’s a stinker. I dried out one end and got rid of the dirt flies but as soon as water hits anything the mold blooms.</blockquote>
