Sabulosum is a perfect example of the handling situation. She does NOT like to be touched with temperment sticks and doesn't like anyone poking around doing cage maintenance. She will flick hairs like a little machine. BUT I can reach right in and scoop her up and she is perfectly fine. No hairs no threat posture. And that allows me to do anything I need to in her tank without her going skitzo on me. She actually seems to enjoy being held which might seem strange, but she goes berzerk any other time but you can scoop her right up in your hands and she's a little angel.</p></blockquote><p></p>
