[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 221105, member: 29323"] My wife has 2 cambridgei & they, like most of our arboreals are fairly sedentary & happy to sit & allow us to feed, water them etc with no reaction at all. And by comparison to our versicolour, which takes EVERY opportunity it can, to take a walk on the outside of it's enclosure, our other arboreals are positively boring to feed & water. For me, rehousing is the only potential area where some of the more feisty species can have potential & as long as you are calm, move calmly & steadily & put some thought & logic into what you do, rehousing is not normally an issue. I have even moved some of our more feisty species by simply gently picking the bark they are sitting on up, in my fingers & gently moving them to the new enclosure. Many of our arboreals are in enclosures that have a small lip around the top. So taking the lid off, even with them millimetres from the top, is not an issue. As they like to tuck into that lip & play invisible. Far from every old world being temperamental, most are happy to be calm & sedate. And as for what we describe as good beginner species. Ask my daughter about psycho*****, her B hamorii. Not every new world, good beginners species is calm & sedate. Every T has it's own personality. Get the T you want, learn to be calm & steady moving with it & get to know it. Every T is different & even the most feisty of T's will in general be much calmer if you are. [/QUOTE]
