Message: <blockquote data-quote="BossRoss" data-source="post: 38278" data-attributes="member: 2395">Without a study proving/disproving this one would never really know. However I have noticed a 2 or 3 of my Ts have become accustom to the noise and vibration when opening the enclosure. For some reason when I open the enclosure of my H formosus she seems to poke her head out of her hide and it kind of looks like she is waiting for food... On the other hand I have Ts that always run back into their enclosure as soon as I touch it. I have managed to film some Ts at night. The most important thing I have noticed is slow; steady movements especially with the light. A bright light shining on them and then suddenly moves away(goes dark) makes the T assume a large predator is above it and the T tends to run to its safe place. I slowly move the light over the T and they seem to be less disturbed by it.</blockquote>
