[QUOTE="Sonicookie, post: 160536, member: 5746"] I'm glad. So, since she seems to believe she should be molting, despite not actually [I]being [/I]molting, that makes me wonder, what if they have something like ants? Basically, dead ants have a particular substance on them that makes other ants believe they're dead and put them in the graveyard pile. But if you put this on a living ant, the ant, and every other ant, will believe it's dead, even if it's moving (to clarify, the ant itself thinks it's dead, because it smells dead). So maybe tarantulas have some kind of hormone that makes them believe they should be (or possibly force them to be) contracting their legs. It could be totally wrong but it just seems like an interesting idea. [/QUOTE]
