[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 168660, member: 29302"] I found that really interesting. Your description of what is going on is really helpful too. Menavodi is I think bang on the money there, as the simplest explanation is normally the right one. You'll most likely find that it just needed a bit more time and will be able to locate them better then. Just to play devils advocate who's to say that sensation can't be affected by something not quite right with the normally formed exoskeleton though? We know tarantula behaviour can change moult to moult, which must have something to do with how they perceive external stimuli. I've not really come across this idea before but I'm going to see if I can find anything either in support or that can refute it. If anyone would like to share their thoughts or experiences too, please do :) [/QUOTE]
