Yea he was pretty mellow. The only way we even found him was he rattled when we drove by, and we all heard it and leaped out of the car to find him. So he gave himself away lol. But we just took his picture then went and moved him further away from the road.
Yeah I just like when they are feisty and full of spunk to defend themselves, but that's pretty rare to get...all they want to do is get away from my scary self
Because he knew he was pretty and wanted his picture taken ;) Later I have a pair I found and I have a video of them, they weren't as nice looking lol
It doesn't look mad enough in any of your photos lol
