Little miss Tinkerbell is shedding for the first time since I've had her, just wanted to share. Gotta give props to Brian, she is a pretty girl.

She's all explody, lol. I hope Nyx sheds soon, she has gotten quite a bit rounder lately. How is Miss Tinks attitude? Nyx gives me the same stink eye if I even so much as look at her.

Yea I get stink eye from both her and rex during bath time. Tink is still a bit skittish but a lot less defensive. Gail, I think through my persistence she has learned that I won't simply go away each time she hisses and opens her mouth. Now she rarely bows up on me. She is eating me out of house and home lol. As you commented she does have a gut, and believe me it's full of roaches!

Its great to hear she has settled down some. I think your approach of just not letting her get away with being a brat is the right way to go. I also head of people keeping greens handy and every time your beasty opens her mouth, you poke a piece of green in there.

What I used did was when she opened her mouth I would put my finger under her lower jaw and slowly push up until her mouth was closed. It kind of confused her aggression and she eventually associated my hand's presence with not opening her mouth.

Definitely good to hear that she's settled down. I figured it might just take some time.

Nice pics, Justus!
