Steatodas threatening amblypigids and tree frogs

[cwebster]

Am frustrated by steatodas everywhere. Tiny ones get into screen topped tanks and menace my frogs and other critters including our phrynus. I check their hides twice daily but removed three baby steatodas from the phrynus’ cork hides yesterday! She seems to despise them and seems scared of them. Anyone else plagued by them and have a remedy?

Was afraid we were going to lose Toots, our florida phrynus. Finally after 48 hrs and removing the steatodas she is looking ok again.

Toots is hanging in there. But i took another steatoda off her coconut shell last night.
