I have two bps with the spider gene. Both seem to go for longer than normal periods without defecating. Is this a frequent issue for this gene? I've noticed that they seem to favor one of their two hides, which is usually on the cool side. They don't seem to move around a lot. I haven't had to use the soaking method yet to get them to "get moving," so to speak. All I have to do is take them out and let them crawl around and explore and they usually manage to go within two days. There are times when this hasn't worked, though. Other times, I have to take their hide away on the cool side so they will go to their warm hide. This has worked on a couple occasions, as well. It hasn't presented any serious problems. I usually can assist them in working it out. Just wanted to know if anyone else has encountered this with their spiders.
