My parahybana has a plexiglass top on his aquarium, and does the same thing as yours, the screeching sounds the fangs make is awful... (ow yeah, and quite a few scratches on the plexi...)

My parahybana is around 9" and never climbs. I have had a P. cancerides chew at the top of a cage before.

Here's my B. boehmei doing the same thing.
In addition she very often likes to hang out attached only with her fangs.

I suppose pre molt their skin is becoming tight and this might just be a response to that. Like a deer in velvet rubbing his antlers off on a tree. I am sure the pressure building up inside can't be all that comfortable. Just my thoughts anyway

Hmmm...I guess there's no way around it. She has stopped doing it for a couple days, so hopefully it has stopped for a while.

Thanks for the info.
