I thought i'd share my interesting experience i had today with my cobalt blue. so i was feeding my T's today, and noticed that the cobalts burrow looked like it caved in...so i look at the underneath of the enclosure to confirm, and it looked like there was also possible mold growing so i decided its time to rehouse just in case. so i finally get the cobalt dug up from the cave in, and suprisingly s/he is not defensive what so ever. BUT...then i decided to use tongs to convince him to go into a catch cup for transfer to the new enclosure...when s/he decided to run up the tongs, up my arm onto my shoulder and continually tried to bite me in the face atleast 8 times lol. if that doesnt get the blood flowing i dont know what will! luckily its still rather small (about 2 1/4") but still, i didnt particularly want to get bit in the face multiple times...after several failed attempts of him biting me in the face, he calmed down and i manage to get a lid from the catch cup between my face and the fangs lol. after awhile longer, i coax him into my hand and to my disbelief, no threats what so ever...but when s/he crawls out of my hand and into the new enclosure, BOOM threat pose and lunge at my hand...luckily i didnt get bit lol.
the only enclosure i had readily available was a 5 gal, which yes i know is way too large, but its fine, gives space for growing. i also dont see them getting too stressed about such a large enclosure once they establish their burrow. i started a burrow for it against the glass and it took to it right away and started to finish constructing where i left off. anyways, i just thought i would share, i thought it was pretty funny. just wondering if anyone else has a similar story with cobalts that they would like to share? :?
