Yea, my little one has an awesome personality, does yours like to stand up like a cobra? I know mine will do it a lot.

I wouldn't say the rubropunctatus are calmer then the rostratus. Maybe yours may be a bit calmer due to it being older, mines just really active, and very curious.

Also do you wear gloves/long sleeve shirt when you handle yours? I know some people do, but I don't really find it necessary.
