Hello to all. I am ready to get a 4th to add to my set. I came across (locally) a Brazilian Red & White and a Mexican Redrump (both slings). After some research, I find that the Red & White can be aggressive/defensive. Right now I have a Chaco Golden Knee, a Mexican Flame Knee and a Brazilian Black (all docile). I only handle them 2X per year, when I clean the cage and change substrate. I'm leaning to the Red & White but do not want to get bitten or haired (yes, I'm chicken). Just how aggressive is this species? Am I overly worried? All advice and suggestions taken. Pictures of my 3 beauties can be seen on my website here:
