I recently bought a G.Rosea and am very intrigued with her. I've done a lot of reading and watched videos on this species but I could still benefit from all the advice from here. I also have a slight fear of her but I'm trying to get over it. I've had her for a week now and every time I interact with her, she "attacks" my hand or the utensil I use to see what mood she's in but my girlfriend can do the same thing and she acts calm. Is it just me? I've used me finger to touch her back leg and she flipped around fast. I don't know if she was going to bite because I moved my hand before she could attack. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
