Yes, cleaning your pet tarantula off

Do you or don't you brush or blow off dirt if your T gets all dirty? I bought coco fibre but didn't moisten it enough before putting my T in her home and she has a bunch of dirty coco fibre on her back, tops of legs etc.

Has this happened to you and should I just let her alone until she moults new skin or get a soft brush and carefully brush it off? She's a fully mature docile G Pulchra.


Thanks in advance

i have used a small paint brush to remove "stuff" off the back of a couple of my Ts. i dont recommend it as the urts will go flyin, but i have done it.

A gentle paint brush would work just fine. It will not hurt it though to just leave it.
