[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 292745, member: 8168"] Have they puffed up their beards or hissed at you yet? I ask as that can be common, and so can them flicking their tail like a cat when upset. ;) Sounds like your little girl was taken care of by another keeper, or still young enough that she is fearless and will tame easy (much like mantids as nymphs). Glad to see they both have gotten attached to you enough for petting and rubs. In time if they allow you to pick them up they love to lay on a forearm, getting petted and warmed up from a persons body-heat at the same time. :D Crazy to hear about dandelions, I wouldn't have guessed that. It has been awhile since he kept them though (in the 90's), so I imagine many things have changed with the internet connecting hobbyist (much like our community). ;) I did find this video on youtube, is this the one you saw too?
