Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jay Ceglia" data-source="post: 12111" data-attributes="member: 693"><p>I just purchased a PZB and am wondering the same thing.... its been almost 8 hours since ive had her, and im trying to pick her up now, but shes been kicking hairs. So I decided id leave her alone for the rest of the evening. I heard their generally mellow, and while at the store i could hold her and it was no problem. Im new to this whole thing, and just fed her an hour after gettign her. Do they tend to tense up after a meal(been about 3 hours since she ate). Should i just give her some time, she lunged away from me when trying to just pet her right behind her carapace. Is it due to the newness of everything? please let me know! thank you</p></blockquote><p></p>
