[QUOTE="regalspottedbeast, post: 201628, member: 37688"] Both are quite skittish and reclusive, H. maculata rarely comes out at night. My S. calceatum always comes out as soon as the lights are turned off. I've found that they have a more aggressive feeding response than H. maculata. They also grow faster and get bigger. I've never seen outright aggressive behavior from either species, but I know of some people that have very defensive specimens. In my experience they're very shy and sensitive to light. The key is giving them plenty of places to hide so that they can retreat when threatened instead of bolting or being defensive. Be careful during rehousings though- they are lightning fast. [/QUOTE]
