I got them back the other day and I was like a kid at Christmas! I ended up coming home with two more than I expected. I bought a teeny P. Irminia and a G. Pulchra whilst collecting my current 3. Since I last saw my Vegans, she's molted, is a confirmed female and looks gorgeous, a real specimen... However, when trying to get to the water bowl for instance, she rears up... She's bitten my paint brush, puts her ass in the air and flicks hairs when you shut the lid on her. She's only small, around 3" leg span, but she's a royal cowbag! Any advice <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> ?I'm hoping she will grow out of it, I've only ever been able to handle her once in pre-molt. (I understand handling is not advised)</blockquote>
