[QUOTE="Tabitha, post: 141016, member: 27934"] Thank you [USER=26980]@Whitelightning777[/USER] yet another excellent tip,so helpful, I wouldn’t of thought to do that, I saw a video on YouTube of a man that picked up a molt with forceps and carefully walked from the spiders enclosure to a table and just walking with this skin made the hairs fly up, he was a long term keeper I think but got caught out, I think it was the theraposa with their super bad hairs but he showed his torso covered in red marks, even though he had been wearing a shirt, the hairs had got through and caused this reaction that he said lasted for weeks so ever since watching that I get my molts straight in a pot then soak. Presumably if you were making alterations to an enclosure, without spider in there, just as an extra precaution you could damp down the substrate incase there’s hairs that might float around in there? Maybe no need as you are wearing gloves?. Just a thought. Many thanks for the excellent tip. [/QUOTE]
