From what I've read, they have a bizarre defensive behavior where instead of showcasing fangs in the typical threat posture they kick around their barbed back legs and spin around to confuse predators. Mine did neither, though for some reason it kicked hairs well after it safely transferred to the setup (didn't see it kick but it suddenly had a bald spot). I think I accidentally spooked it putting the cork weight back on the lid?Originally Posted by Bogertophis
Very pretty! Is this one or or less "challenging" than the red-knee you were looking for? At least it has red legs- but these get bigger, don't they? You might need a leash-
Otherwise they're said to be very shy and will burrow out of site indefinitely (gave it extra sub accordingly). Though, the exact same thing is said of A. seemanni and my girl is out like this nearly at all times so idk what to expect.
