Ok,
I will be the first and probably not the last to admit this but I am not a scientist by any stretch. But I am a naturalist, I know 90% of what happens in nature happens for a reason.
I got to thinking about why there are complications with T's molting.
I've never heard of them doing so in the wild, and while there may not have been a recording or I haven't heard of it, I got to wondering why.
I acknowledge that tarantulas live longer and have better success as organisms in captivity having no predators but still, why could they have complications.
My theory In captivity they lack a mix of foods that they'd find in nature, because we don't have all the food of the jungle. (Well I do, but it's hard to catch sometimes!) maybe a balanced diet is why they have this strange difficulty.
What do you guys think?
