Here is Niko. I've had her for about 8 months now and she is starting to warm up to me a bit. She will now take her weekly superworm from the palm of my hand. Of course if she sees my hand go into the tank without a worm, she runs into one of her hides. She just finished a shed and her colors are coming out alot more. I'm guessing as a female, she won't get much brighter than this?

She's very pretty!Try hand feeding her some hibiscus or other flowers they can eat that you can get a hold of.My uro will come running at me for the flowers.One day last week I was putting his food dish in and I must have been dangling my pinky in front of him cause he bit it thinking it had a flower in it or something.It broke the skin and bled a bit but didn't really hurt, it did startle me and of course I jumped and he was still latched onto my pinky and he went for a little ride from the middle of the cage to the warm end, luckily he didn't let go or he would have flown across the cage.

I've tried with dandelion heads, which are by far her favorite flower, but they just don't compare to superworms. I swear, if hadn't read/be told that Uros were "veges" I would have never guessed. She would eat superworms till she explodes. When I try and feed her any flower by hand she'll sit in her hide with her head sticking out and wait until I let it go... worms are gone as soon as she sees them.
