She seems to spend about half the time on the ground and the other half of the time she is perched like that. She is still young and very nippy in defense. I don't know what an adults teeth feel like, but all I can tell you is that she does have some teeth. I cant decide if I like carpets or dwarf retics more. The carpets are nice because humidity isn't as much of an issue. I know some people look down on hybrids but I'm really wanting a carpondro (carpet & gtp) for some reason.
