Message: <blockquote data-quote="swimbait" data-source="post: 74143" data-attributes="member: 3515">I am not big on anthropomorphizing spiders...I'm with the group of people that think spider don't have the capability to get attached, or even distinguish one person from another. I do believe a tarantula will respond differently to different approaches, but they aren't sensing that it's their favorite person. Of course everyone has their different opinions. I got kicked off of the tarantula keepers facebook group a year ago for arguing that the loss of a spider is not even remotely comparable to the loss of a dog, cat, or an animal with a much higher intelligence level... IMO it's not, because of their lack of capability to bond with a human or other animal. To answer the original post though, stop messing with the cage and let the spider molt in peace it's fine</blockquote>
