If you go through people's comments on this video, it is promoting people's desire to own one now... so they can play around with it and bother it...
Mine had enough sand and rock to hide under, but when I needed to do anything in my fuge, I had to watch it. They are territorial and don't like people being in their business. This is why I could not keep him, since it was stressful to both of us to do what I had to do in his home.
