      Does it really matter at that size ?

      Let me ask you a question.
      How big does a human get ?
      Answer .. . anywhere from 2ft to 7ft (extremes) with an average of approx 5 '7 to 5 10'
      So how big does a genic get ?
      An adult female will get anywhere from 7in to 9in with 8in being a good average LOL
      Aggressive ? Defensive ? Bitey ?
      I've had a few over the years (got 3 now) and on average I would say they can be slightly on the nervous/jumpy side of
      things.
      Our of the 3 I have now, one is more jumpy that the others but not enough to make any problems.
      As it has been said before, there is little difference between all of the ones you are interested in.
      Personly I think that N chromatus are the better looking out of them all but everyone has their favorite.
      Just go for it ! ! ! LOL
      Yeah I wonder if the " aggressive " is really a greedy t and the legs raised is " back off I'm scared "
      When my wife got her GBB sling ( I look after hers too ) it did the raised legs fangs ready lol .. But now it's a calm as my white collard ..
      I have a rule never jump from the frying pan in to the fire.. research and research more is how I play it.
      I like the look of N.chromatus too .. But if all goes well it will be genic till next t time lol.
      Oh and my B.smithi is no pussy cat .. he can be a right b*** erd when in a mood.. he has shown me much in the year I've had him.. from arachnophobic to ten t's lol.

        from what I've read in general genic's are " nervous - skittish - defensive - docile! - aggressive - calm " so that's a wide temperament to go by.
        And only feed them 1 roach every two weeks? or a cricket per week?.
        Some odd care sheets too on the net with much conflicting advice.
        Makes me wonder if some just guess!.

                    he/she has moulted
                    now just have to wait to get the skin then sex it.
                    Not as white as I thought it would be ...
                    But it matches the adult I'm loaning with all markings.
