First of all, I am super new to the T hobby. I've been watching RobC's vids on youtube, reading every thing I can find including posts here. I've been lurking for the last three days, just trying to get a feel for things around here. I'm really glad I found this place.
So really, I'm just excited my (assumed) girl, g.Rosea Rozilla ate for the first time last night. I got her tuesday, got the some crickets wednesday, finished getting her exclosure set up with a hidey-hole and then put some crickets in her tank. No dice. I was bummed and bit nervous, as the guy I bought my T from said she would be hungry. She did finally eat one cricket last night, and I was way stoked this morning when I found the legs and such. Yay! I was a little bummed that I missed her tearing that cricket up, but I did get to watch my Tiger Oscar eat about four crickets the day before.
Anyway, my husband is getting into the hobby with me. He likes creepy-crawlies, but is more into reptiles and actually has a fear of spiders. So for him to get interested is really funny and great. I hope it helps him get over his fear.
I do have one question. I have not handled my T since the initial day (and I really didn't touch her much or even hold her at all as I figured she was stressed from the ride home, so I basically put her in her enclosure and have been gauging her reaction to me reaching in to touch her hind legs and it's been two days since I've gotten any aggressive reaction from her. How long should I wait until I handle her? Or is it just whenever she seems calm and I've got the guts to do it? LOL
Other than that, I'm waiting to see how well my Rozilla does before I get any more Ts. I've got my eye on at least four other species, including a PZB. My husband wants a green bottle blue and we both want a chaco golden knee.
