Yeah I gotta tell ya, Hissy HATES being misted directly!! In fact, she hisses at the misting of the tank most of the time. I opened the tank today & reached right next to her to grab a piece of duct tape that fell into the tank & she did not even flinch for a second at my hand being right next to her, which was wierd. But, then i started misting the back of the tank & she started living up to her name! So, i misted her a little bit & she REALLY started hissin away. She is just so damn adorable. What a little character!!
