It's literally 3-4 inches from substrate to the lid, so I don't think so. Also the bald patch has me thinking something other than a fallSorry to see this. Is that fluid near the edge? Could she have fallen maybe? Or is it more tumor like?
Yea, white stuff around the fangs, and fangs looked jacked. Def nematodes. Froze the poor T to put out of its misery. Never nad a nematode problem before, and never changed any care with this T so maybe it was a cricketVery sorry for your T. Please check under the fangs. Nematodes can cause the T to become reatless. White gunk around the fangs'll clinch it. If not then aomething else. Shoot!
Can't imagine any other way. sorry hun. Do a close check of all your others now. :.(Yea, white stuff around the fangs, and fangs looked jacked. Def nematodes.

SpiderDad- feasible/practical for you to taise dubias. No nematode threat with them.Thx all. This blows.
I already do have a large dubia colony, but some of my Ts don't like emSpiderDad- feasible/practical for you to taise dubias. No nematode threat with them.
Same...this makes me really nervous about my cricket eaters. Because if this can happen to someone we KNOW takes care of their arachnids, than it can most definitely happen to anyone.I already do have a large dubia colony, but some of my Ts don't like em
I've had small colony of those too, but after a while I got tired of breeding tons of feeders for 40 TsLateralis are a great alternative to crickets. Sorry for your troubles
I've got a hundred, or close to it. Over the last few years I've bought at least 600 lats, and 300 dubias...my colonies have been decimated. Ny lats are almost gone, very few surviving breeders, and all my dubias except three are females...spiders, most especially slings, will decimate roach colonies. Crickets, even home grown, are not a viable option for me anymore, even if I didn't hate the filthy bastards. Crickets are dirty...dirtier then roaches by far. The short lifespan makes them so. Its why they stink, and why they attracts horrible parasites, like nematodes . Lateralis, and dubia, are not trouble, or time consuming . No matter what size your colony. You've been at it long enough to make the transition away from crickets. Try it, then come back and argue with meI've had small colony of those too, but after a while I got tired of breeding tons of feeders for 40 Ts
