Cleaning today and I pulled this guy out, an anerythristic, decided to take a photo and get a weight on him, but he had other plans.... First up was the cleaning, which ment getting him out. He is not a pain, but don't hold still either. The whole interaction I had with him, he was totaly aware of me. After I got him into the the holder tub, I cleaned his cage, then decided to just to snap a couple pics of him... I pulled the lid off the holder tub and this is where it got fun. He was watching me. Fully aware of me... I moved to one side of the tub, he would watch me. I moved to another place, he would watch. I had a long lens on the camera, a 100mm macro lens cause I wanted close, but I started to realize its going to be hard to show off his body with the long lens with out backing up and this would make him out of arms reach if he decided to run. I gave up after one shot since he was watching me intently. I remove him from the holder tub and decide to try and weigh him...

He absolutly refused to go into the bowl on the scale, it was like trying to controll water from a busted pipe! I figured he had enough and put him back in his clean home.

Never once did he try to snap at me, hiss, curl up in a strike pose, in fact I came close to his trap a few time while I was working with him. He has a cool speckled belly I want to try to photograph later

Can you say, "Alert"
