My orange biting teleporter escaped one night. She went back home quietly, but damn if I wasn't scared for the cat.

~~She wasn't too mean unless you opened her hut,~~ Ya she was a little shit.

I like how it says "defensive and will bite if provoked," and apparently, according to this thread, opening their cage is sufficient provocation.

Opening the terrarium was fine, lifting the little log hut thingy and messing up the web was a gamble.

Why dont they give aggression displays? Normally it would make evolutionary sense to try and scare threats off before you attack them

50/50 from my experience. She would either ambush from her hiding spot, or stand on hind legs and show off fangs if enough room.
