Message: <blockquote data-quote="torstrum" data-source="post: 14319" data-attributes="member: 499">hey guys, Gerry, my B. emilia suddenly started rubbing her fangs together. I just got home from work and she's pulling her fangs in and out whilst moving them up and down and rubbing, massaging them almost with her feelers. It's really cool, I was wondering if any of you have seen your t's do this or if you know what she's doing. Is she cleaning? it almost looks like it. She's been fasting for a few days now maybe it's premolt now that I think about it this is the only time I've seen her fangs other than when she was working crickets with her fangs(which looks similar to what she's doing now except she doesn't have a cricket) and when she climbs the glass <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> edit: she just spread her fangs, and put her face to the ground. it almost looked like she was working her sub with her feelers/face, but she only did it a couple of time. Could she be making a molting mat?(im excited now!)</blockquote>
