First off just because I am an insane woman that will do something Really stupid just to satisfly my own curiosity and needs. Does Not mean I recomend it in the Least to anyone. At all Ever.
Ok. Hehehehe..
I waited for my house to be nice and quiet and empty. Twins asleep. Teens in room, husband out like light. All critters cuddled cozey in their beds and I took Keoche's tank upstairs to the bathroom. Keoche being our little orange demon Usambar.
Did I Know this was a Really Really Stupid idea?
Yep.
Did it any damn way...
I put her tank in the tub and settled down with a book to give her time to settle into her cave and relax after the jostling and opened the top.
After a little bit she came ou and started looking around and I rested my hand on the side of the tank and held Very still and waited for her to make her way toward it. Then dropped a wounded Debacklegged cricket into my palm.
In typical Keoche style she launched on it like an orange lightening bolt.
In my palm.
So I sat there and watched her eat and pretty much held her for a good half hour. Then Very very carefuly and slowly lowered my hand into her tank and droped the next cricket in near her cave, a few inched away from me.
Off she went and nailed it.
And that was my Usambar handling experience.
Yes it was a Dumb risk to take.
No I would Never tell anyone to try it and after reading all the bite reports I would tell them Hell No way.
I shouldn't have even done it but it was a Gotta, that was Just Needling me.
I Wish I had pictures. But the idea of ricking anyone else with her out of her tank was a no no to me, as well as the idea of someone elses movements and a bright Flash of a camera.
So though I don't have pictures. I have the experience.
And I'm happy with that.
