specifically Liphistius malayanus. what do they do with their molts? mine hasnt molted yet but I've been wondering.

will it molt the "toss" the molt of of its hole.
will it molt, then make new room attached to the burrow?

or will it do something else, like eat the molt?

thanks for reponding

one of mine left the molt in its tube, the other two rolled the molt up into a neatly packaged ball and tossed it out of their burrows. ive had mine a little over a year i think and have only seen evidence of one molt from each of them.
