Guys, I need help ASAP!
Two of my enlosures are just determined to give me a hard time, and I have no idea what to do anymore.. It all started when I bought some spiders from this guy.. I got an enclosure with them. My Avicularia sp. Amazon Purple was in the enclosure when I got it, but she was cramped, so I moved her.
So, in her new enclosure, I've gotten mold, and in the enclosure she came with. I have litterally boiled all my enclosures, and I've baked the substrate, so the only thing I can think of is that it's on the spider itself. But, the enclosure she came with is still affected, allthough I have a spider in there, which haven't been in a moldy enclosure before. What the heck do I do now? I can't think of anything.. I do the exact same thing with these enclosures as I've done with other avics, and they haven't had any mold problems at all!:? To top it off, the two spiders in the moldy enclosures are in pre-molt!! They've webbed themselves into Narnia, so I'm having a battle with myself on wether to move them or not.. What should I do here? I'm posting some pics too.. It seems that the poop is what's molding.. In the one enclosure, theres a sort of "carpet" of light, hairy mold, and the other is just tiny, fuzzy bits al around..
I'm stumped here, guys..
This is the enclosure the amazon purple came in, now inhabitet by my mystery Avic;
