[QUOTE="LeahThomas, post: 26343, member: 2195"] If you knew you probably weren't supposed to touch him, why did you proceed to anyway....? Really. Tarantulas molt many times throughout their lives. Some of them are MUCH bigger and bulkier than your T, and they still manage to flip themselves over before and after a molt, even if it was exhausting. People don't say "LEAVE YOUR T ALONE DURING THE MOLTING PROCESS" because they want to spoil fun for you or so that your T has a harder time molting. Plain and simple, it can be VERY bad for your T. Especially post-molt flipping. They're still soft and gooey and very easily injured. Congrats on your molt (although I can't personally sex it, try to get a better focused shot right between the book lungs. Someone else might be able to tell from a blurry pic), but I URGE you to never touch your T during the molting process. It's for their safety. [/QUOTE]
