I am away from home and my rose hair flipped over I'm guessing to start it's molt. My girl didn't know what was going on and flipped him back over. Will he start again, will he be alright?

Probably, you'll just have to wait. Tell her not to touch your T's!

Thanks. I just talked to her she said he is almost done molting now. I'm glad I have had him 6 years. The one time she ever opened the cage she decided to flip him lol

Glad it looks like he'll be OK. Luckily there's no way my missus would open a tarantula cage

When i started my collection and my missus wasnt really up to speed with things, she rang me at work to say she thought my b.smithi was dead. I asked why and she replied "its lay on its back and when i poked it with a straw it didnt move" [emoji50]
Needless to say i thought the worst, told her to leave it alone till i got home. Anyway luckily he survived and is still growing nicely lol.
Hope all ok now. My GBB had made a very thick web but I had to rehouse all my Ts the other week and change the substrate before I went on holiday. By the time I had realised she was on her back inside the web it was too late. She flipped back over in the new tank, a week or so later moulted, is fine and eating as normal so although not ideal, should be no issues. ☺
