Well our 9 month old hoggie has moved from a rub into a small 2ft viv a couple of weeks ago. Up until this point she has been very calm and placid never struck at us only ever hissed once when blue. My how things can change. She's now a right little madam. I only have to walk into the room and she is at the glass hissing and standing up doing an amazing cobra display lol. She has not bitten us yet or struck, guess this will happen soon though. The difference this move has made though really is quite astonishing. She's now one very viv defensive hoggie. Get her out and she is fine, put her in her tub to eat and she is fine but open that viv door and that is certainly not fine as far as she is concerned.
Don't you just love them.
