It's such a huge relief when they flip back over and start stretching those "new" legs. And then another huge wave of relief when the first meal is consumed (my Amazonica finally took the small wax worm that had been stuck in its web since yesterday).I find it's worse with the very small ones (only really my A. amazonica now) and the larger females. The ones "in between" (G. Actaeon, L. Parahybana, GBB. T. Gigas and B. Boehmei - all grown on slings/juveniles) don't have me worrying so much, probably because they molt and "recover" quite fast and don't look as fragile anymore.</blockquote>
