This might be a weird question... but a wolf spider found its way into my water container and died in there. It's abdomen was covered in some sort of white "mold," is my water still ok to use? I wasn't sure if the body decaying with venom would be bad for my tanks or not, thanks.

Could the white mold be its egg sack?

Either way, I would say the water is fine.

Nah when I pulled it out it was pretty slimey so I assume it was a mixture of decay with the juices leaking out... There was only about ~10-15 gallons left so I impulse decided to just dump it to be safe after I posted this. Ty for the input though!

Better safe than sorry. Who knows how long it was already there.

Probably a good choice. Better safe than sorry!
