I would put it out of it's pain and suffering

Poor spider. I lost a blue fang to an unknown cause. Had fluid coming out of the mouth but no milkish white stuff. Might send the specimen off to be examined.

fuckkkk this is nastyyyyy

Farther back, would they give the mouth a whiteish color?
My tarantula died recently and not only did it vomit a white liquid over my hands when I lifted it's body from the ICU, it had a white mouth. I didn't get a really close look at it, but does that sound like nematodes?

Poor thing :(

Does anyone know if Kerry Gowin ever concluded anything from her research with theraphosid nematode infections in her lab?

hey goliat how is the circle of infestation?

You're looking at her mouth.. those tiny worms infest their mouth.
Yeah, like I said it's a closeup video of the mouth of a Tarantula that has been infested with nematodes and ultimately died as a result. The nematodes are the little worms that are moving. Other than that, nothing real exciting about it.

You are looking at the mouth parts of the tarantula under 60 power video microscope.
