Funny you don't have a problem with this off subject reply:


"I think even so due to only having one allocated shelf for my Ts I'm trying to limit it to 1 individual per species (obviously not all sp. lol!), I would probably cave in, take it and love it as much as my other 8.

I think Roseas are a bit like corn snakes. Some (not many) keepers regard them as too common and beneath their experience, if you get what I mean (I don't mean the OP of the above mentioned thread, btw). Their reputation isn't the best neither, for example when I first announced on another forum that I'd just bought one for my first T the first response was to expect long period of fasting and schizophrenic behaviour ranging from aggressiveness to being boring pet rocks. Welcome to the hobby, 'eh, lol?

I'm glad to say that none of it bar the fasting (2 months, so not too bad) has come true so far. My Rosea is neither aggressive (she did throw a tantrum when I put a flowerpot hide in. I found it turned upside down the next morning. She hardly ever uses it), not overly defensive (she has never had a bold spot from flicking hair for example), not shy at all and also one of my most active. I know she could potentially be handled because the guy in the shop used to handle her to show his customers, but I don't see a need. We did "shake hands" once though, when she came to see what I was doing and one of her legs touched my finger (I was refilling her bowl).

Seems like you have a personal issue with me.
