Okay so i rarely ask questions and when i do they tend to be a lot and sometimes odd. Here it goes:
1. Old world Ts don't flick hairs right? If so, why does my S.samarae have a what could only be explained as a small 'bald patch'. Noticeable to a lot of S.samarae photos on google as well. Not that it concerns me, just wanna know why or how it happens.
2. Has anyone who un/intentionally handled a mature OBT or let one crawl up your arm ever made you itchy?
3. My MF C.darlingi has decided to become a pet rock. Always spread out at the center. She stays at the bottom stack and my pet room is always pitch black unless i turn the lights on. She used to hide a lot in her webbings and her enclosure is virtually a web case now. She attained maturity last December and i was just wondering why an obligate burrowing T would decide to be out in the open now. She's been like this for 3 months now.
4. Can you get urticating hairs by just opening or putting your hand inside the enclosure w/o the T kicking or even moving one inch? I just feel itchy everytime i open my brachys enclo lol
5. Some of my MF brachys have decided to have a bald spot on the bottom side of their abdomen (nomally on top of the abdomen, right?) by i guess kicking hairs without me noticing or even doing anything to them. By doing so i can clearly see they are not anywhere near a premolt. Is this a just a normal behavior? I do notice they seem to do this a few months before an actual premolt
Thanks in advance!
