[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 157541, member: 29302"] Oh bless him. Maybe it's cos kids are a squeamish about death and seeing the insides of stuff (thinking about it, so am I lol) and a molt to him is like a dead spider thing? I mean they do look pretty gross to the average person! And with him feeling the scratchy claws as well, it's just totally put him off. My friend who had a G.rosea that he used to handle frequently said he never itched from the hairs (I presume it wasn't much of a kicker) but he used to feel itchy afterwards from the claws!! Now I suspect strongly that he may have been haired without realising, but having never held a T before myself... I'd be interested in what you think? Perhaps they can be very superficially irritating, like if you accidentally get a very light scratch that you only notice when it starts to itch. It's great that your son is into them though and your daughter not caring less, just shows how individual siblings are :) [/QUOTE]
