Matthew is my middle name but yeah, I forgot about the head shyness. Yellows in particular are extremely head shy/agressive. I think it might have something to do with them being such extreme ambush predators and going long periods without food in the wild - something gets near their head and instincts take over(grab if hungry or recoil if not). I managed to find some pictures my sister took back in 2005 the yellow is the fat one :-D

[QUOTE="JohnMatthew, post: 57318, member: 385"] Matthew is my middle name but yeah, I forgot about the head shyness. Yellows in particular are extremely head shy/agressive. I think it might have something to do with them being such extreme ambush predators and going long periods without food in the wild - something gets near their head and instincts take over(grab if hungry or recoil if not). I managed to find some pictures my sister took back in 2005 the yellow is the fat one :-D [img]http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/JMH-bucket/december%20album/conda1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/JMH-bucket/december%20album/conda2.jpg[/img] [img]http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/JMH-bucket/december%20album/conda3.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
