Greetings from Brisbane, Australia.
Nephrurus milii live reasonably locally to me & I keep an MFF trio as
well as Heteronotia binoei and Diplodactylus taenicauda. I have never
observed mine doing anything remotely like that, nor have I heard of it
as wild behaviour. Their natural history seems fairly straight forward
from what I've read- nocturnal, communal (well pairs/trios/small groups
are often found together). They eat basically anything that moves:
insects & spiders being their main componants though. Personally I would
doubt that this is anything more than a one-off individual case.
