I don't think I could have an aggressive species, purely because when it comes to transferring it I'd be terrified of it jumping at me and escaping! I went to my local reptile centre and nearly died when I saw the condition of the containers the Ts were in, I had to say something. The guy insisted he had a guy that came and did them and he knew what he was talking about but even I knew the Ts must be really unhappy in their containers, he had about 10 Grammastola Rosea in moist humid containers with water dripping down the side, they were all steamed up! Do not get me started on the arboreal Ts he had. His idea of transferring was way to dangerous for the Ts, they could be hurt or dropped quite easily. At least you have your son to help, I'm all alone ha!</blockquote>
