About this episode
Anyone who has ever experienced DKS symptoms in a tarantula can tell you how terrible it is to observe...and how helpless it leaves you feeling. In this episode, I'll review the paper "Dyskinetic Syndrome In Tarantula Spiders (Theraphosidae)" by Emily Draper and Steven A. Trim from the Veterinary Nursing Journal, (www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17415349.2018.1484677). In this paper, the authors discuss these symptoms and their possible causes.
