All my WC are really long term captives and very well adjusted. The only difference was when they were short term WC say up to 5 yrs or so. They (WC) were a little more stressed when moved around for Winter or a new enclosure. CB of any age could care less if moved, turned over,picked up, used for show or photo shoots. Not much bothers them. So for the most part CB and "established" WC are the same other than some personal quirks like a male that has always been shy. I will say that male conbat in WC is much more ferce than newly maturing CB males, but that may change when the get the huge Gulars of an old male of eather beginning. I notice if I pick up a CB that is eating they hold the food in their mouth and continue to eat no matter what I'm doing to it, such as cleaning it off or shpping it to someone, whatever, it aint lettin go of the food.
