    Tis' a good day...

    well this is the outside of the burrow...all the moss that has been taken from the inside and put on top.


    but last night, my little tarantula decided to close it up. it sittin right up at the top but has covered the hole. would this be an indication of an upcoming molt? or have i done something wrong to make it want to do this?


    and a few other questions. there are little tiny mite-like bugs crawling around in the moss. are these harmful to the spider? they are white, not black and even smaller then a normal mite. none of my snakes have mites so im pretty sure they came efrom the moss. but i dont even know if they are mites or not.
    how long do i have to wait untl i can tell what sex it is? i have to wait for that molt that marks sexual maturity right? how do i know when it is mature if its a female? (im assuing ill know with a male because of a sperm web?)

    this is a little different then taking care of ball pythons...i cant just go search and find most of the info i need. it wierd. lol. thanks for your help.

    hhhmmm.... I've always freaked and heard bad things over small moving dots anywhere in the cage. Maybe check out what they look like on a big name extermination site? They usually have a lot of useful info on psuedoscorpions/mites and stuff.
