(Moslty in jest mode. You didn't think that you'd get away lightly after making the statement about Cal Kings being "cage furniture", did you??)

Ooops, there's trouble in paradise. One owner says that they are very curious & active, this one says that his is timid. Am I getting conflicting information!?

Realizing, of course, that:

1. Each individual can be quite different.
2. Adult vs. juvenile behavior can be quite different.

Plus, some Cal Kings just are not very lively, and I suspect that many have been inbred way too much. The Desert Phase specimens from the Mojave don't seem to have that problem. Of the 4 species I've known, this guy is much more confident & curious.
He continues to surprise me at times.
