You guys had me cracking up reading these posts this morning. I was going to go through and quote everyone but I figured I'd just do a single response.
Over the weekend I got him transferred into his enclosure, and have just been letting him do his thing. While I've heard curly hairs are pretty docile, I don't intend for this to be a hands on pet, he's just to look at. They do have urticating hairs, or hairs that they kick off as a defense mechanism, and I read that they can even blind predators in the wild if they get in their eyes.
So far I've seen no posturing or hair kicking from this guy. Even when I was ushering him into a catch up to transfer him into his new enclosure he was just relaxed and walked right in for me. The ease of care so far as been ridiculous compared to the reptiles. I'm excited to watch him grow and while I kind of bounced the idea around of starting a small collection of Ts I think I might just stop here.
