Re: ATB behavior??
I find that mine tend to come up toward your face. I've also found that an s-shape does not mean a striking position as with other species...it's just the way they sit. Katari is totally fine to handle. As long as you don't move too rapidly around him, he will not bite. He usually just mock strikes at fast moving objects, I've never had him actually bite anything. My new ATB's seem to be pretty good. I use gloves to get them out of the cage, but once out, the male at least seems pretty good. I haven't handled the gravid female much at all. Just to put her in her tub after I received her, and once while I was changing some stuff in there. She struck at the gloves, but gave it up once I held her. I don't blame her though. She's very full of babies and probably feels a bit defensive as a result. The loaner female I have is pure evil though.She will strike at the lid of the tub if I even go in there to check on them. I definitely wear gloves with her. If nothing else, she can nail the gloves instead of my face! They are a curious species though. I've never had anything quite like them before. Katari will literally sniff you like a dog. It's the weirdest thing.
