Rh. t. trachycephalus

We took some new pictures today, since they were out in the open in the viv. To our (VERY BIG) surprise Miyuki was very docile. I could even pick her up and hold her without any problems. We don't know why she is like that all of a sudden, cause a few weeks ago she would probably have gone ballistic.

Miyuki.

Haruko.

It really seems they are getting more docile by the years...

Nice pics!! I was under the impression that the pics showed your Russian male, cause the other two were not so docile off course. Surprising behaviour!

awesome, they are great!!!

 

[Debbie]

Thanks both! It's our USA male, but the Russian one is also docile.

awesome animals! very nice close up pics. I've heard these guys have some attitude when they're younger, I guess it starts to fade with age

They are flighty and spastic as juveniles, but as adults they really mellow out. I really like your animals.

reminds me of sarasinorum

 

[Debbie]

Thanks!
It's correct that sarasinorum also tend to get more docile as they age.

They look awesome! You know I want one also. Glad they are getting more docile for you.
