But all you have is a bald spot where your girl has flicked her hair. And when she molts she will have a complete body of hair again.The fact that "tubers" did not instantly know what it was, is a sad reflection on their knowledge. As it is perfectly normal & something that happens to most new world species, even occasionally those like Grammastolas, who do not normally flick much hair.It could be that you have a Grammastola that likes to flick. Or it could be as a result of her being overly stressed at the pet shop & thus needing to flick more often there. Her next molt & if she keeps it all, will tell.</blockquote>
