Bad Guy Arachnophiliacs (Bruce Carr)

I am no expert, but the fluids appear to be stomach bile (or whatever Ts have).
I see what may be an injury on the thorax, but it could just be the fluid staining the hairs.
 
Third post of photos (with cropped periphery).

At the angle the picture was taken, it is difficult to tell if it is a hole, cricket bite or wet.
A new picture, taken at an angle that shows the "hole" directly on, would be good.

Where you see brown,is where the hole is.
A cricket?
So i guess it's true that she was being munched on by something?hahaha
 
Chris, you said there is a video. Does it capture locomotion of what you are labeling as a nematode?

Do you own a stereoscope or microscope with which you might be able to get a magnified photo of one of the organisms you are seeing on a slide? I do not expect you to, but it would be a huge help if so. Maybe just a clear photo taken through a magnifying class with a steady hand would be enough.
 
In terms of what I can see from the photos supplied, I cannot say whether what I am seeing is a wisp of congealed fluid off to the side (which is what it looks like to me) or a parasite.

On the right side of the animal's sternum, there appear to be spots where the setae are wet from fluid. On the animal's left side, it does appear that there is one section of exoskeleton damage (the darker spot). I obviously cannot say what drove that damage. Could be any number of reasons.

As of now, there are not enough meaningful data supplied in order for me to draw a meaningful conclusion outside of what can be directly observed (and I mentioned these observations above).

In that order was a 2''$220.00 Female b.Klassi that was DOA with parasites.

Slings are usualy CB,And why would i spend another $90 to ship them back? when shipping is more then the Sling?

So it appears that you purchased a bunch of inexpensive slings and one more expensive T. It was the expensive one you are claiming DOA.


Bruce, could you please take pictures of the klaasi brother and sister and post them to show their condition? If they are fat sassy and active, I'd be puzzled as to how their sibling could be overcome with parasites during a short $90 ride.

So i guess it wasn't that cold if a sling made it eh.

I thought the klaasi was $220?

And I have had spiders in a shipment that died from cold while others didn't. Some individuals aren't as strong as others.

Again, I will ask; Why are you sending her to a SECOND lab? Where the results from the FIRST lab negative for nematodes?
Click to expand...

I want to know what vet lab is qualified to look at and diagnose ararchnid ailments. From my understanding, at least here in the US, very few, if any, vets are qualified.
 
Chris, you needed help posting the pictures so someone graciously stepped up to help you out. The email you sent was poor form and your responses here to him have been rude.

When people are trying to help you present your evidence this is how you treat them? How about knocking off the attitude, "Bud".
 
Illusive-Man said:

If you keep them and they have parasites, you would have the cost of treating them.
As far as I can see, you have not presented conclusive evidence, you claim the other Ts received have parasites but are neither shipping them back, or reporting that you have taken them to the vet to see what kind of parasites, or said anything about treating them, or (since you claim they are infested) taking higher quality pictures.

To me, the issue is moving along the path and has passed odd and is coming up on fishy.
 
The sling that was in that order,was a b.Emilia sling for $60.00
b.Klassi was $220.00
Money Order was $343 shipping,Money order was $7,shipping money Order $20.
This is more for the comunity.
Anyway i think we can come to a conclusion that the spider died.
And the spider was getting fed eaten alive
And Dennis read the whole post before being a ignorant.
All the things Buce has said have been lies, just like he said those are the exact emails i sent?
Posting a little picture.
The onlyone here that has lied is him.
Look through the whole post again.
You can kill nematode with cayenne peper,also very easy to see under the scope.
Doesn't take a genius.
 
You've not posted definitive proof it was nematodes. Just a DOA that a replacement was offered on. If there are more e-mails, post them. Right now, it seems the seller wants to make things right.

I didn't state anything about what Bruce stated. I'm talking about the way you addressed Nickolas for trying to help you post pictures. I think I was very clear.
 
And nematodes are very common so don't think this is rare, it's in soil and the food you eat.
A cricket? ahahahha how long do you think that cricket was in there.lol
Let me ask you a guestion.
Would you buy a spider with holes in it?
My guess is some of you would.
