[QUOTE="Fuzzball79, post: 65366, member: 3190"] My G. Rosea is quite docile, but definitely not a pet rock. I don't handle any of mine (if I want to touch any of my animals, that's what my dogs and to a lesser extent the corn snakes (they only tolerate it, but wouldn't seek out any contact), so I can't comment on her behaviour for that. Anyway, she's nearly always out and about and on the rare occasions she hides, it's usually a 2/10 effort (her bum always sticks out). She doesn't run away from disturbances, in fact she used to run and investigate, but now is not too bothered any more. When we first got her, she would throw a semi threat post every time my Husky X barked (she's got a horrible high pitched bark, that goes right through you), but she seems to have gotten used to that, too. Like many Roseas she's a picky eater. Crickets, yes, but only silent or brown ones, no black crickets. Roaches - only Turkistan/Red Runners, which are hard to get a hold of in the UK (only ebay seem to sell them, but usually to many in a pack). Anything else just gets slapped away or ignored. She has never flicked hair (yet), but she's never really had a reason to. She's thrown a half @rsed threat pose at my husband before when he moved her tank, but it was more of a "Meh! Go away!", not like my T. Gigas who shows of her gnashers and big mouth lol. She also wasn't happy with being given a flower pot hide not long after we got her and threw that around her tank during the night (gutted, I didn't see her, it must have been hilarious). [/QUOTE]
