I have a question regarding corns. Scarab seems to recognise me. When I take him out of his cage, their is no fuss, no attempt to escape or get away. He seems perfectly content to let me pick him up or crawl on my hand and let me handle him. With anyone else, however, he gets defensive. Very defensive. Somebody else goes in his cage and he coils up, posed ready to strike, his head seems to change into an arrow head shape, he even rattles his tail. Is it that he recognises my scent and knows I'm not a threat, while this new invader is a potential predator, is it just random coincidence and other people enter his cage while he is in a bad mood, or am I merely reading too much into this?
