[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 131777, member: 27444"] Totally agree with you...I have also had Ts molt after rehousing or during shipping. I think the T realises something is going on and it needs to molt now quickly. I don't think it's stress. Actually I don't believe in "stress" in tarantulas. I think it a hobbiest term used because someone doesn't know how to take care of a T. The so called stress position is just a unhappy T in its environment. Not stress. Tarantulas are not supposed to feel emotions right??? Stress is a emotion. They don't get anything from being held...wouldnt that be an emotion??? The tanks too large it's stressed out....are all wild Ts stressed??? It's flicked all its hairs off because it's stressed...Its a defensive instinct to flick hairs however they also line their burrows with the hairs to keep predators out. Lol I can go all night on stress...sorry:p:D [/QUOTE]
