Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tabitha" data-source="post: 151677" data-attributes="member: 27934">Thanks all for your advice re my Aphonopelma anax, I was just moving vivs around..again..and I decided this was the time to check and see if the anax which I got in January was alive, I admit my motives were that I have someone else who could live in the Viv if it was, I was extremely careful and moved one part of the hides it has and there it was! So “itt’sss aallliiveee” which I am delighted at but quick question...It’s rump was very pale and hairless..it hasn’t been flicking because it disappeared when hairy the day I got it and has had no disturbance, so is that o.k, it looked pale and mangy, is that normal? Hopefully it will molt when ready and I won’t be going near it to check again.</blockquote>
