[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 207645, member: 33266"] I couldn't agree more. Needless to say there can also be many unknown factors affecting the T's mood. I have witnessed some of my oldest and calmest Ts suddenly and without warning starting to tap as well as some of the most defensive ones being nice and chill on some occasions. My go to move is to give the T a few seconds to adjust when opening its enclosure, to make sure I am not surprising it, like a good neighbor visiting :) After a few seconds and when the T shows signs it is aware of my presence, I will gently touch one of the leg with a soft paint brush, then a second one (I do this with the less defensive Ts). If the response to both contact is satisfactory, Enzo is next to do his husbandry's duties :) [/QUOTE]
