Yes I am being hyperbolic with the title.
I know all T's are being defensive as it is us who are creating their habitat and thus us who are invading it when we do maintenance, feed, and water and they are only defending that habitat, but do you have any T's that seem out right aggressive or vicious by human standards?
I have kept a lot of T's and all of them even the ones who have been noted to be more relatively defensive (P. Cambridgei, H. Gigas, C. Darlingi, P. Striata, ect.) have given me no real problems.
The only ones who have actively tried to strike me or my tongs while working are my C. Darlingi ONCE and actually got a fang in me when I was being careless and my most recent aquisition a Chilobrachys Fimbriatus.
This thing (C. Fimbriatus) is only about 2", but is a total psycho. The only T I have ever owned that will actively rush to the top of its burrow and rush around looking for things to strike when I disturb it's enclosure. I actually have to tap the top of its container and rock it around for a while until it burns it's energy out and goes back to it's hole before I even try to open its container. It's quite amusing and impressive and I have never seen this kind of behavior in any of my other T's before.
Anyone else have a berserk T that displays unusual levels of defensiveness boarding on aggression? Any fun fiesty stories?
