Variable kings are among the most easy-going kings around. Truly easy to handle.

Rosies are very easy to handle, slow and deliberate. Put a rosy down on the floor and chances are it will stay there for awhile in no rush to do anything.

Some rosies can bite as a feed response, percentage-wise not very many, but those that do can clamp on and hold on for awhile. You take them out of the cage just fine, hold them just fine, and then after a minute or so they decide to bite. Out of maybe a dozen rosies, I had one that preferred that I bleed everytime, and a few more that were seasonal biters. With mine it seemed locality or strain-based for sure.
