Bahai Scarlet Birdeater shedding

[coral snake]

My big ol' bahai had just finished molting.A strange thing I saw was that she was dragging her molt around her hide for about 10min. Now I've been keeping T's for +- 6 years and have never seen this. Has anyone seen this??

Funny enough, on the rare ocassion I see my L. Klugi doing that aswell, i've also seen my L. Klugi bury the moult, a few species does this, unforntunately I honestly can't think of a logical explination as to why they do this. There's a member here called Cascade, try asking him, he knows quite a bit about T's.

Most spider remove their molts out of the there hides or where they molt to keep every thing clean and also to protect themselves from predators.
They sometimes "eat" their molts to get the moisture out, also to make it difficult for the owner to sex their spiders.

Funny enough my Female L.klugi molted 7 days ago. she was 24cm before she molted out, give or take a bit.
Here is a picture of her molt.
