[QUOTE="kormath, post: 63084, member: 4199"] I agree with [USER=4086]@MassExodus[/USER] the Ts have their likes and dislikes and nobody knows why. I sure as hell don't but i do know how the Ts we have react to my son and I. Only the GBB and boehmei show any preference to either of us, the rest don't care, they'll react the same way regardless of who is opening the enclosure to water the dish or whatever. Typically that's bolting into their hide or running up the wall in an attempt for freedom. We never remove them to do maintenance, those 2 go for the wall anytime the enclosure i opened if the wrong one of us open it. So we use the catch cup to keep them from harm until we're done watering or whatever. But that's rare now that we know how they react to us. I do the maintenance in all enclosures except the GBB. Could be our soap like Mass said, could be that the GBB was first handled by my son and knows him, his scent or touch or whatever. I've been the only one to handle the boehmei. The day we got it and housed it, it crawled up the wall onto my thumb, so i let him crawl around my hand till i could lower him back to crawl into his enclosure. So maybe it knows me. [USER=1084]@Chubbs[/USER] you do sound like a know it all :) and that's not a bad thing, it's why we're here ;) To voice our opinions and share our knowledge and experiences. I've learned a hell of a lot from reading your posts, and i thank you for that. Same goes for everyone else here, I wouldn't own 4 Ts if i hadn't joined here and discussed and learned from everyone here. So thanks to all as well :) [/QUOTE]
