Fungal Infections

[daikenkai]

hey, was just wondering if anyone has gone through one of their Ts having a fungal infection?
ive just had a hell of a time with my adult chilli rose. found some white spots on her bum and one of her pedipalps, was a total nightmare! had to scrub out her tank and micro some new substrate, boil all her decor and put fungal foot infection powder on her white bits! Ofcourse, i was sure not to get near her book lungs (or her fangs, shes damn moody just now!)
the white spots have gone now and im hoping she'll be fine. Dont want that to happen again though...

i know it's not a T or a reptile but my guinea pigs had a fungal infection. It was similar as i had to give them cream and wash EVERYTHING even there 3 ft cage!

It cleared up, but came back again.

it can come back, fingers crossed, it doesn't to you.

You should ask people here there are far more knowlegable people on these sort of matters. Particularly email and pm ray gabriel he is interested in spiders with ailments and infections although he wants live ones sending which you wont but he may know of what it is.

i bought a T. apophysis from the BTS show, 4 days later i found the poor guy dead, also had a big fungal infection blocking a booklung. I can only assume that is the cause of death. Was fat and healthy previous

i already seeked advice and she seems to be in good health now, back to bulldozing her tank and eating fine. Ill keep that site in mind though just incase anyone else gets ill, thanks.

That seems like its very likely the cause of death then. poor wee thing... did u contact the seller and let them know it had died? Id be demanding a refund.

After 4 days cant get refund the seller has no idea how it was kept by the owner. Most spiders DOA in post can get a refund but after 4 days in your possession cant get refund
