last night around midnight i was trying to remove my rosie's waterdish to clean it out and freshen his drinking source. however this did not sit well with him. he quickly ran over and held onto the water dish for a good two minutes before i had to usher him to the other side of his inclosure! it was quite amusing. after i changed his dish i set it back down and he ran over and felt all over the dish to make sure everything was alright. then he took a long drink and went about his nightly patrol of his surroundings.

Your rosie's are not mad at you and trying to scare you, they don't know that they are scaring you, just leave them alone for a little while and they should be fine.

When was your rosie fed last?
Sometimes when a T hasn't eaten, they will come running at the slightest disturbance. With my G. rosea, and alot of my T's, I let them know I'm there first so they don't think I'm food.

Also she was being protective of her territory, or just curious of what was going on.

My Rosie "Fang" does that with her dish, its just
another crazy "Rosie thing" "That's mine, don't take it!!"
You will find that each one acts differenly.

I have a Curly that stands on top of his dish. Every once and a while I catch him doing it. It's funny because he is balancing on
the very tips of his toes=D I have a picture of him doing that,
I'll have to find it and post it later.
