My new Cyriopagopus Albostriatus (thank you @Konstantin for the link to the preloved advert.) I think I read someone where they are not good beginners T's. The above image is after it has been in its new enclosure for 10 minutes & is the posture it posed as soon as it got in there.
She certainly objected to being invited to leave her postage container. But she has settled down now. But it took time. I think she is the most aggressive T I have ever owned. She was not just threat posturing she also came up the tweezers for my hand & when that failed she held onto the tweezers in retaliation for a good 5 minutes.
She looked so chilled in her postage container, She moved around when I took the top layer of moist tissue off & looked so chilled. I laid the postage container in the new enclosure. But as I could not put the lid on the new enclosure, with the old one in there, I decided after a few minutes to move things on & move the tissue out. BIG MISTAKE. She came out & up the tweezers like a rocket, just missing my fingers.
After I dropped the tweezers she held them really tightly & then after letting go she went into the threat posture in the photo above, when I removed them & then held that threat posture for over 10 minutes!!.
So yes happy she was NOT.
I am happy I like T's with character & that she certainly seems to have.
