He's gotten a third of his body standing straight up! But when I hook him to put him in the holding bin, he immediately chills out and acts simply curious and excited to be moving. I'd almost be more comfortable if he was vile on the hook, because I can predict that....but he's almost preternaturally calm on the hook and has never actually tried to bite me.....I'm waiting for it. I'm sure the day will come when he decides to rage on the hook.

Thank you, i think so as well ill see if i can take a better picture of him next week. i need to find a camera, phone pictures dont come out well.
He has really vivid tear drops underneath both eyes.
Most yearling-sub adult kaouthia will act similar to Shelby. I have a kaouthia not any more than 8-10 months older then him who has recently calmed down alot within his cage. He is cooperates very well on a hook, just hoods up and stands his ground occasionally dropping his guard to the left or right but with any quick movement snaps right back up. Even into adult hood rarely will they make any aggressive gaping mouth attacks outside of the cage if following a normal routine.
