I just took a vast look at the picture, then *took a deep breath, holding, while lifting my feet off the ground, THEN! Inspects the marvellous picture!* Assassin by evolution. So wonderful.

Very cool!

You just taught me something as well...to get them to do more than just hang there, you gotta threaten them. I'll try that next time I see one in the yard. Thanks! :D

well this guy all u would have to do is walk past its cage and it would do threat pose..:)some do it more than others..im sure a wild one would do it just move your hand on the floor close to them..remember they dont have ears like us on there head..there ears are on there stomach so they can feal and hear vibrations on the floor..:)good luck:)

It was in a cage? Wow. I've only seen wild ones in my yard and my neighbor's yard. I was close to them, way close like a couple of inches away, and they didn't seem to feel threatened at all. Maybe they only get that way when they're locked up. :D

Wow, I didn't know that! You sure breed some pretty little critters; we basically have the green ones here. What do you do with them, if you don't mind me asking?
