Hello everyone,
I suppose this is kind of a weird way to start a first post, but here goes:
I have read quite a few threads about the problem of nematodes affecting tarantulas. This is of particular interest to me because I work in a laboratory at UC Davis that deals specifically with nematodes (I guess "technically" Ts aren't insects, but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the entomopathogenic nematodes we work with have similar behavior patterns). A couple of graduate students I work with are interested as well, and we would love to ID the actual species affecting the T, their cycle, etc. so that we can get more info out there about how to stop nemas from infecting your T, or *crosses fingers* an actual cure.
If you have an infected T that unfortunately didn't make it, we would love to study it. Post your thoughts, and we hope to make a decent contribution to the T lovers' society
