Hey Tom,



I have a Moroccan pair that BJ sent me. I've had them for 2 years. I also have Egyptians, Ornates and a Mali pair that I've had for 5 years now. Out of all of my uros the Moroccans are the least tame but in an odd way. They are skittish if I am near their pen. If I get too close they head for the nearest hide spot. Having said that, They relax when handled. Once in hand they are fine. Most times they will sit on my hand and they don't seem to be zoning out like some reptiles do when they are handled.



I also have never witnessed aggression between the two guys or any aggression between them and any other herps (one of DVL's chuck is an escape artist who scales walls and falls into the Moroccan pen). This may be because they were the runts of BJ's litter. He sent them to me to keep them from more harm. Maybe they both assumed a passive non aggressive role early in life? Dunno.



Sorry for the rant.



John Nicholson
