I have a t.s. Pickeringi and she does a lot of huffing and puffing. Seemingly a hog nose in a garter body. Doesn't bite but what a show off! Calm inside the enclosure, but lift the lid and its show time. Even her breathing gets erratic and labored. I really think she was a w/c and not what the seller said. Lol. I didn't know that about t.s. Similis. That is really hilarious Lora.
