[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 158407, member: 29302"] Whitelightning, are you talking about a Post Ultimate moult here? Thankfully it's a rare occurrence, but yes when it does happen it's usually fatal for the male because they can't extricate their palps. Personally, if I have a MM, I think I'd prefer to wait and should he get his palps stuck in a post ultimate molt, then I'd consider amputating to help him. I do understand your reasoning but I wouldn't fancy messing around with it chopping off body parts prior, because he may not live to have a PU moult anyway, so I'd have put him through that for nothing.
