    T's lose their limbs on occasion and its mostly a natural occurance. unless they have been teared off which i don't presume cause he/she molted they should regrow just fine. they shut their *blood* stream off like valves and just deattach their leg. it probably isn't anything to worry about...

    Do tarantulas really "get used" to being handled?

    i think T's remain unpredictable creatures and should therefore always be handled with care, he might be fuzzy and cute and slow walking one day, and the otherday he might want to rip your flesh off. keep in mind this is my own opinion, i believe the T's are not getting used to being handled...
