Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 85490" data-attributes="member: 4199">On the mood swings they don't mention it lasts from one molt to the next.  Welcome to fun of raising a G. rosea <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  I'd give up on trying to hold it for now, try again next molt and see how her mood is.If you're dead set on handling her use a catch cup and remove her from the enclosure then see how her mood is, sometimes they'll settle down out of their home as they're just trying to defend their water dish and what not.Pic looks like a G. porteri to me,  some say the rosea is just a porteri in red color form, nothing proven yet though, but it's definitely not red/pink in that pic.</blockquote>
