When I first got my H. Lividium, she was a holly terror, very jumpy, quick to lunge or stand in an aggressive stance, etc...
It's been about 2 weeks, and I swear, she's not the cobalt that others describe. She's a good eater, but BOY, she takes her TIME. Usually, she'll let me drop a cricket in, then maybe walk over to it nice and slow until she's hovering above it - or sometimes she waits until the cricket to crawl beneath her...then she just slowly scoops it up and munches away...such a slow, strange way to catch prey...
But that's not all.
She eats absolutely everything I throw in - if it's two or three at a time, then its two or three in her mouth at once - just not too "excited" about it.
She stays out in the open pretty much all the time, though she spends at most a few hours in her burrow every day. She doesn't spook when I move near her anymore. She's calm with me lifting the lid of her cage. In fact, the only thing she really seems to make a fuss about is getting misted...
Strange girl. FYI, tho...I don't plan on sticking my hand in her cage just yet...maybe this is still "settling in"...but I thought I would share...
