These guys tend to calm down a bit as they get older? This guy is calmer when I walk by and seems curious. But strikes as soon as I go near the cage. He got me good trying to change the water, actually took a tad bit of finger with him . Obviously not a huge amount but I do like my fingers lol! Would I be better off letting this little one go and just buying from a breeder? The adults I've caught and let go were all quite calm. Just this morning I moved one away from the road that was large (over 2 ft easy) and she just hung out on my arm for a good 10min after I was letting her go in the woods. I've never seen one this aggressive.
