This is by far one of my all time favorite Ts, the attitude, the colors, the webbing... I had a 3.5" female about 8 years ago, i raised from about 1/4" on an inch. Never a dull moment with her.. I sadly had to part ways with my entire collection to keep a roof over my head.. I will have another one, in the very near future.
Simply stunning, Kenny, thanks for getting some awesome pics of this beauty!

yeah, Definitely a gorgeous species. But definitely for experienced keepers only.
One of the few Ts I still get a little nervous dealing with lol

Funnily enough, the two most agressive Ts I've ever encountered were B.Smithi, and G.Porteri lol. Both seemed to want blood :eek:
But really, Defensive is the right term, very few Ts actively try to bite. Biting is the last resort.

LoL, I've had some rough G. Roseas, the one i currently have is a little crazy. I like it tho, better than a pet rock.

Understatement, I tried to corral her to remove the reptibark from her cage, she tagged the straw i was nudging her with 3 times, and kept a threat display for about 5 mins afterwards. :)

Conversely, I have a King Baboon that is as mellow as it gets. Personally I prefer the attitude. seems more natural to me lol
