Be very, very carefull while a T is new from a fresh molt. The slightest nudge could do serious damage. They are very fragile and prone to being hurt at this point.Raindog said:

A Tarantula can still be sensitive after 3 days from a molt.starzzzcollide said:No prob. It's pix of smithi's like yours that make me think my next T might be one of these guys...
And aren't T's pretty well hardened after 3 days? I always figured that once they had darkened to what they looked like before they were good as new...especially once they're eating again... :? :? :?
i keep thinking about getting one of these, but it'll have to wait since i just bought 4 Lasiodora parahybana spiderling 1 inchers and need to focus on watching after them for awhile. my next tarantula is going to be an actually colorful one though, i keep saying...

wendy amazing looking T congrats!!!!!!Thanks Steve, I can't stop staring at her either. She's molted twice in my care, but has never put on quite THAT much size at once. When I refreshed her water just a while ago, she apparently felt frisky enough to got into the flicking motion, so I guess I can safely try feeding her again. If I see she's not interested yet, I can always remove they prey.SCtarantulas said:WOW
