yeah, it's friekish, as for the vet, sadly our herp vet (and some surrounding vets) ask us..lol
The reason behind that is they NEVER see tarantulas in this state except for ours..lol
But it is very very strange, I wonder if Marcus has ever seen this, he would be the one to check with on this forum..lol
I'll be taking pics soon, and if marcus isn't sure I'll run it by some arachnologist I've spoken with before.
Thanks
Rusty
