I agree that you have to just go and confidently pick these guys up if they are looking like they are going to bite. But, its really easy to condition them not to be so defensive by just repeated entry into their cage or changing their caging (which youll probably have to do every two to three years since they eat soo much). They are really all talk and no walk though when it comes to biting, with some exceptions following constant loud puffing sounds. I would put yours together periodically to acclimate them to eachother for future breeding sucess, which requires at least 6-8 year old females and probably less for males.
