Not at all,since I can compare it to say a dog. The dog just sits there never growls snarls etc,but in fact that is the higher risk one since you never know what to expect. With others which show threat postures easier, you will be more alert and that alone is the mistake just my opinion. Something else,they are extremely sensitive towards their surroundings more so than other pokies that I've observed in my collection I can even add smithi.</blockquote>
