Grouchy Girl

[PrettyInInk87]

Well, Darla my little female Sambava is a HUGE grouch... She has calmed down a bit and will kind of sit there in her cage while I go in to mist or feed instead of puffing up and chasing my hand down to bite, like before. She still puffs up and bites if my hand gets near her. I have noticed that when I mist and a few drops fall on her, she starts nodding her head. It's more of a twitcing up and down motion more than a nod. Anyone know if it's because she agitated or if it's a warning "get away from me" or "stop, I don't like that."?

My boyfriend's jacksons does that when it sees a bird. My males do it when they see ladies.

If I dont warm my water before misting, my chams will sometimes do a full body shake when I mist them. Kinda like when the dog shakes after a bath. If I warm my water first i usually dont see that behavior. They will stand under the spray and just enjoy the mist.

Really? Hmmm... It's weird, she only does it when the drops of water fall on her. Weirdo!

I use hot water in my mister so that it comes out warm... I have seen her on occasion drink while I mist but most of the time doesn't like it. I guess I can just hope she learns to enjoy it like my male Hugh. He hated it then actually figured out that it's a good thing.
