There is a universe between Wisdom and Knowledge... Which are you looking for?

The situation is similar to that of a Ballerino, one wonders what the hell happens under those tights. It's only when the "cover" is removed that contents can reach its... uhm, FULL potential.

Most people are like clouds. The sun comes out when they f*ck off...

I'm pretty sure it's FULL potential will not be the equivalent of a 75% regenerated limb! :tongue:

George I can only guess that it's much like a dragonfly wing after pupation, it's so soft that it reeeeeally stretches and 'grows' as it pumps itself full of 'liquid'. :spider:

You can take an Aphonopelma to crickets but you can't make it eat!

Hehe. Now THAT I understand :D thanks for clarifying for me. Makes sense :D
Wonder if someone cut open a T with a lost limb in regrowth before a molt to take some photos.

And I assume since it won't have as much cuticle it will remain softer (thinner) than the rest of the T. Like scar tissue soon after closing. the skin is still thin.

I don't know anybody anybody willing to kill a T just to see the inner workings of the whole regenerating system :chainsaw: :chainsaw:
