Do you have any research to back this?

Nope ,but I have read somewhere a lot of mice can cause wet molts and also causes tarantulas to get stuck in their molt as calcium dries it up faster

Not saying it is not true, but don't always believe everything you read and re-tell it as fact.
I have read that there are Yeti's and honest politicians, but doesn't make it fact.

obviously tarantulas don't need calcium but in the wild they do catch vertebrates now and then.... so once a blue moon can not cause any bad. its natural. bt im also not a fan

Sorry...


WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

This is another myth that will soon be written up on my list .

Lots of tarantulas eat a lot of vertebrate prey in the wild and apparently are still doing just fine.

Tarantulas have been eating vertebrate prey in the wild for the last 60 million years or more, and are still apparently doing just fine.

Lots of enthusiasts have fed lots of captive tarantulas vertebrate prey with absolutely zero (0) problems.

Lots of enthusiasts have never fed their tarantulas vertebrate prey and still report occasionally having molting problems.

Have you heard the latest medical research? Water causes cancer! Think about it. Have you ever heard of anyone who got cancer who didn't drink water? (Whereupon Uncle Charlie is going to immediately jump up yelling, "I knew there was a reason I only drink beer!"

Enjoy your little 8-legged "brewskies!"

I don't know about those honest politicians! But we are to believe that all the programs on Discovery are based on scientific research, and all those indisputable calls and thermal images the BFRO records on Finding Big Foot, there has to be Yeti's out there. :laugh:
