had her for almost 2 weeks now and i am glad she is not the monster i thought she would be and read about.....she is not as aggressive as i thought she would be.... she loves her new home, its bigger then her last home and using that tank as the feeder tank... took a day to get used to seeing people but now she almost asking for attention. she doesn't mind me spot cleaning and loves the mister. i was told she is about a year and half old and hates being picked up, but last owner admits he never spent any time with her and didn't ever used a separate tank for feeding. we are taking it slow with the handling and use a big rubber made tub if we need to clean tank and move her to feeder tank. she doesnt mind the tub and find that easier then trying to man handle her.

she eats just fine and even tong (tongs are rubber ends) feed her with no problems.

is this normal: she wakes up between 9am and 11am and is buried no later then 4pm, sometimes by 2pm.
