I got 2 and they were both pretty chill at first. They both have turned nasty. One in particular. Every time I open the enclosure to take out the water dish to refill it, he/she starts flicking hairs. Like as soon as the tongs go down to the dish.One I bought as a 1/2" sling and the other is a 1". The bigger one is the nastier of the two. The smaller one goes into threat pose when I open the enclosure but doesn't flick hairs.</blockquote>
