[QUOTE="TarantulaNoobE, post: 214071, member: 38754"] My daughters Class Tarantula has had a stressful molt I have a rose hair at home so know some about care but have never had mine go through this kind of stress. Upon discovering the spider upside down a teachers aide thought she fell and was injured so she picked the tarantula up and flipped it over. Then seeing that the dish was low on water she filled the dish and flooded part of the enclosure. I stayed up with the tarantula as she finished her molt without a lot of difficulty other then flipping back over. I have erred on the side of caution and not moved her and instead used paper towels to absorb excess fluid and leave the Tarantula in its current enclosure because I don't want to stress her further. Stance looks fairly relaxed and does not appear to be in a defensive position but she is hiding behind her front legs with her abdomen low resting on the ground. I don't have the best picture but one of the aides wants to move her to an ICU enclosure and I am worried about stressing her further especially as the biggest concern was the extra water but that is at most a little damp at this point.
