Aggressive, hissy, threat posture and bite at the slightest movement.. pet hole. Thats basically it
In the wild their burrows are 1 metre deep!

Mines made a few really deep burrows in its pot, its still a sling atm so its not really aggressive. S/he seems happy down the burrows all day and most of the night, i rarely see it
Have a look at some of the vids on youtube of them to see just how agresive they are

I had an adult female who had a 9" legspan. But they take 10 years to mature...

They are very aggressive and burrow VERY deep. They also hiss quite a lot if provoked. They get pretty big too. Great T's; I love them.
