Gigas (from the safety of her web lol) and got flicked at by my GBB (grown on sling, so no effect). The B. Boehmei juve threatened his water dish when I refilled it once, which was funny. My A. Versi bit into the paint brush when I rehoused her for the first time, but she's just very food orientated (if you accidentally breathe through her tank's vent hole she jumps at it). I consider my A. Geniculata as quite docile (unless you're food lol), as well as my G. Rosea. My Rosea has thrown a pose towards my husband once, because he moved her tub to clean behind it (it was really half-@rsed as well - the threat, not the cleaning, lol). My G. Actaeon seems quite laid back, too. Just casually strolls away when I open its tub and then comes back a minute later.I don't really ponder on their docility anyway, because I don't handle or intrude much into their area (the odd spot clean, water change and rehouse for the slings/juves).</blockquote>
