I’ve been keeping for 15 years and until yesterday I’ve never had a T try to “attack” me so soon after a molt. My big LP finally molted (after being in premolt since January this year) on the evening of May 24. When I tried to remove the molt (not for sexing, I already know what SHE is lol) she whipped around in s deliberate and predatory manner.
She was partially sitting on top of the stringy part that was once her old exo’s abdomen and carapace, and obviously the slight tugging that occurred set her off. Every other T I’ve been able to remove a moly from had simply walked away from the movements, helpless and soft as they are so they can’t fight back even if they wanted to. But this big girl wasn’t having that
Big and recently molted ad she is I know it’s gonna be a while before she’ll be able to eat again (I’ll give her the usual couple of weeks, maybe a third), which surprises me why she would do boldly leap towards what might’ve been a prey item. I don’t want to make her move any more than she thinks she needs to at this time so I’m going to let her hold on to her precious exo for the time being.
(Photo was taken some time after. She moved back to her current position)
Anyone ever have a snappy yet recently molted T?
