    Bro....
    The only compressed air of any sort you should be using at your spider is blowing on it.
    Cleaning the enclosure out is kind of eeeh too, unless you manage to leave the webs intact. A cobweb spider's web is more important than just a means to catch food. Their web is a cognitive tool for them too.

    Taking care of them can be a learning process, especially since there isn't as much info out there as there is for keeping tarantulas

      Yeah, I've been back home for about 9 months since my alcoholism started being an issue. I hate it

        Alcoholism is worse than heroin imo. (Having been through both and more)

        Alcoholism is worse because you turn into an butthole on it and it harms your body more, just not financially.

        For the sake of you and your pets try groups and taper your usage down while tackling the underlying issues.

        Good luck

    From all the pets in existence you choose a fricking spider thats too dump to understand anything going on around him? You might as well choose a worm, or a brick next time.

    Such are the dangers of misnomers and imprecise language. This is why I always say "computer duster" or "dusting spray", and never "canned air".

      I hear you. Sadly, idiots these days don't understand the importance of using language properly.

    Even compressed air would have done the same, just isn’t the right tool for the job. If you’re lucky, she’s just super cold.
    A long spoon or a popsicle stick works pretty well for coaxing reluctant critters out of a narrow jar.

    Give her a day, she's probably just high as frick, but compressed air comes from an air compressor, not an aerosol can.

    I don't know why you aren't just using a paintbrush though.

      It was an aerosol can, she moved a little bit but I'm worried. I gave her some more water and a cricket and I'm going to wait a couple days

        Take out the cricket. Crickets aren't safe for sick or injured spiders.

          Shit, I'll do that if I can, I'm not sure where either are in the enclosure
