  • mites

    i noticed in my goliaths tank that there are a couple of mites (small white/brownish creepy crawlies) there are only a couple so should i change the substrate or should i leave it? how do they occur and how would you prevent this from happening?

    thanks in advance

    Mites will always be present in the hot and humid environment of the avergae tarantula tank. If there's only a few I wouldn't change the substrate but try to increase ventilation to dry out the substrate a little. Remove any dead or uneaten prey remains and everything should be OK.
    A drier substrate and a bigger water dish may be the answer.
