I had one I got from a convention. He was really cool looking, but he was defintitely not docile. I eventually gave him to the reptile rescue I got my BP from, as they had an older gentleman with experience who wanted one for his son. Mine was extremely fast, and was always trying to escape whenever I opened the tank. I fed it crickets, but it was aways buried in aspen so I never saw it eat. I read online somewhere that most of them are WC, which kind of pissed me off because the vendor did not mention that. Mince was defintely not handleable, but maybe after some time they could be?
