>>eney way would she calm down alot faster if she had a cage mate? i intend to build a 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot tank when she is fully grown and get her a mate but if its better to get her a mate now then i will get her one thanks for your addvice



My opinion would be that you should handle your baby and take the bites til she calms down. She is not going to 'hurt' you and you might as well learn that now before she is bigger. Two, she is going to calm when she matures and doesn't feel as threatened.



Getting her a tankmate will just supply you with a second baby to bite you and complicate everything in several different ways...stress to both babys, competition, feeding stress and your stress trying to tell who is doing okay and who isn't.
