>>I don't know about other dendro keepers, but mine also respond differently to my wife and I. Sometimes I'll go in late at night and just watch the pair (since they just sleep all day), and if it's just me in the room, they just go about their business, looking for ways to escape. But as soon as the wife comes in; BAM! They both stop whatever they're doing and watch her until she leaves...then right back to it. One has even struck at her through the glass before. >>

Allow me to tangent here.

Is it the male reacting to your wife or the female or both?

The reason I ask is over the years I have had a hard time with some of our species here that are female. My husband on the other hand has a hard time with males. I have noticed this in the variety of iguanids we keep as well as in the burmese and retics that have lived here. I have also noticed with alligators when I work with them that the females are a challenge. I have no issues with males, but I have a HORRID time with females. The reverse is the same with my hubby. Just curious.
