Had to change out the substrate in their cage so snapped a few pics. Female is in the foreground and goes 7', male is not far behind. Right after I snapped this pic the male (closest to the wall) snapped as well! He gaped, reared back (as they almost always do) but then he came at me..fully a 6' charge to try and hit my leg! I have quite a few Mangroves of 3 different ssp. and have never had one manifest such aggression before. In the past its always been a defensive bluff display!

Haha! Nice! I'm used to their patented coil and gape defense, never seen such offensive aggression before. I have hopefully 3 gravid females and I'm curious if cb will be calmer.
