[QUOTE="VanessaS, post: 72087, member: 4948"] I read the article and I don't see any of the other symptoms that they mention. Evelyn has no problems putting her pedipalps down to stabilize herself when I jiggle the enclosure. I have no sweet smell coming from her enclosure. She hasn't made a web in a very long time - since the last time she moulted, actually. She never did much webbing ever unless it was her moult mat. Could the dampness be caused by having a damp substrate? I just replaced it yesterday and squeezed out as much water as I could, but it is still damp to the touch. I downloaded the magnifying app and it is pretty good. I went over her entire water dish, as she was just there and I had cleaned it out yesterday, and there was nothing in it. I took the dish out and went over all the substrate around it as well and saw nothing. I got a better close up of her. I tried moving her fangs with a plastic spoon and I couldn't. I didn't want to damage her, so I didn't force them. They are tucked in there very tightly. I went over and read the Melly post on the arachnoboards and Evelyn isn't displaying really any of those symptoms either. [/QUOTE]
