One thing I've learned in this hobby is never to assume...that a "docile" t will always be docile. Today I did some feeding, watering and housekeeping, nothing unusual. But for some reason several of my ts seemed agitated. Nothing has changed. No vibrations, temp changes, etc., but my efforts to drop in crickets or fill water dishes were met with excessive skittishness to downright threat postures. I make an effort not to disturb my ts much so, for the most part, I don't deal with escapes, bites and hair kicking. Even my big gal E. campestratus (that I had hoped to allow my grandson to touch - not happening now) came flying at me today legs up and fangs out. I don't know how people handle ts and think they'll be safe. I don't handle and today was a good lesson for my reasons why.
