The batty Brachy in question here is a 9 y/o female. She is over 7½" ad 2½oz.
I think she is at the 'molt every two years' stage of life, I think. I was told when I got her that she had molted last year. The summer came and went, no molt. She becomes totally passive when picked up.
She is nuts! I have had her for four months and she is in her second enclosure. Both have potting soil substrate. She climbs (I have had to rescue her a few times with claws caught in the screen) incessantly. In her last digs, she hurled a 4" glass petri dish across the cage!
At present she is in half of a divided 10 gallon tank. I gave her a bushy silk plant, thinking she could climb and not get stuck. Well when I last looked at her, she was pushing and pulling on the silk bush.
What is she doing? I am thinking of giving her a full 10 gallon with 6" of coco bark substrate. (I just happen to have one handy, although wher to put it is another matter....)
WHAT DOES SHE WANT? IS SHE UNHAPPY?
