lam,
My blondi will full out attack my tongs when I fish her exuvium out. She's normally very laid back. Then, there's my Tigerrump. Molted before I sent it off to its new home. Little thing eats its exuvium, and gets VERY upset, if I take the skin.
Peace,
Gillian
Yep, my P. cambridgei did the same thing. Attacked the tong I used to get his old skin, and he even dragged the old skin further back into his web... Pretty obvious he wanted to keep it.
Mine seem to concentrate mostly on the abdominal portions of the molt. I think what they're doing is "sucking" on the molt to recover whatever fluid is left; just an economic strategy. The disadvantage for me is that they munch up the molt enough to make sexing it more difficult.
