[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 53534, member: 4086"] Mine do it to. Try and get a good look at them, see if they're sticking their legs in their mouths. Also, if they're doing it a lot, it could possibly be mites. Not saying it is, but if you want to check, wait until dark, and shine a flashlight in their enclosure sideways from your point of view. If you have mites, you can see them moving that way. I do this periodically, just to check mine. But you named two dry species, so I don't really expect you to find any mites. And David, you can't overfeed a spider! :) They'll refuse before they explode:D [/QUOTE]
