Social phase
I think Yeti is entering the "social" phase which suggests sexual maturity. She was very curious during tank cleaning and held my fingers for almost a minute without aggression and without fear. Later she popped out when I went by and then decided to put on a show. I took several videos but this one shows her approaching me with the camera (a definite first). She did not come directly to the tank side but first went to the back and then continued toward me as she hunted. Yesterday was her fast day so I think this was food demand.
This is the best size perspective shot I have been able to take. She has been with me for just shy of 4 months and is still very comfortable in a 40 gallon (actually 37 I think) tank but other than size and weird behavior, she looks like a dwarf briareus as you can see in the video.
