: Hi, in general how long do you find it takes for Situla hatchlings to stop biting and with what degree of handling. Thanks all

I do not work with the numbers that Soe does, nor had the length of experience that he has had with this gorgeous species. With that said, I do know that the babies are very nippy little buggers and as adults I do not "fully" trust them not to bite. My females will get nippy and come after me on a rare occasion. My male has only showed aggresion once. I do not handle them though except when cleaning or introducing them for breeding, so that may have an effect on their behavior and attitude.
