These are some pix of my sub-adult G.Pulchra. It was labelled Brazilian Black in the shop, and it's even cheaper than my G.Pulchra slings! However, this species is supposed to be quite docile. Not with mine! Whenever I reach in with forceps to do maintenance etc., it would turn towards it and grab it at times. Once I had to change the water dish and was trying to gently coax it away with my stainless steel forceps, it reared up on the forceps. When I tried to slowly pull away the forceps, it furiously attacked and a solid "ping!" was heard between the fangs and the steel. It wouldn't let go for a good half a minute... I decided to change the dish the day after.
Now the questions:
1. I'm not familiar with IDing T's. While I've seen pictures of adult H.Minax (Thailand Black) with significantly shorter hairs, I found sub-adults of both spp. similar looking. Because of the cheap price, I'm suspecting my black beauty could be Thai instead of Brazilian...
2. Are WC's generally more aggressive than CB's?
3. Are WC's generally cheaper than CB's?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Do you think her legs are a bit on the slim side? When I see the pix of others' GP's they all look stockier than mine.
