Temperament: Too small to notice.Always hide.

Extra note:

-Medium speed growth.
-A fast and aggressive species.
-Can get to 6 - 9 inches in legspan.
-A good eater.

I've monitor it for past 4 months.. It always hide in its burrow.. But when it comes to feeding time, it came out and nail the mealworm pretty good.. Impressive for a 0.5 inch sling.. It hadn't show any sign of it being arboreal.. For now, it just construct his burrow enough for it to come in and out and hide.. May be because it still a sling that it haven't show any arboreal attitude(hope i got the term rite).. About its temperament, i haven't notice any aggresive/defensive behaviour due of its small size and always hide..

p/s: i'll update more abt it when it reach 4 inch and above.
