When I was taking the big one he got scared and his horns came out and boy, did I smell his stink! I've had the Polydamas cats do it, but I never smelled anything. This was pretty foul - kind of like one of those chemical cleaners smells they try to cover up with lemon scent. One of my middle-sized guys got squished a little when I was moving them into the cage. Then, when he was crawling around the big one crawled on top of him. I don't know if he was just feeling or trying to eat him, but I tore off the lid and got them separated. He's moved a little, but mostly he's in the same spot on the leaf. I'm trying to be good and not mess with them as much; I think maybe that was part of the problem last time.
