Ok...my new baby (on my avatar) is sooooooooooo different from my normal personality wise. He is a HUGE scardey cat!!! He is about 40 days old now. Has a 10 gallon aq., 83 cool side 90 warm side. 50% humid (i know it is low...Im working on it). He has a warm hide and a cool hide lots of fake plants, a basking area, and his cage is full so he doesnt feel it is too big. He eats like he crazy man....no problems there. In fact I think if I kept offering him more....he would continue taking it. He is really a piggy!! ( and I do not handle him 48 hours after a feed)

Here is the problem.....He shakes constantly if we come to over to his enclosure. When we walk away he stops. Very timid!! He is coming out at night and stays in his hides during the day which is normal. I have taken him out a few times for short periods. If you are holding him...he balls. I try to put him down and he will crawl around and if we are really slow....he will stay un-balled when we pet him.

Do you think I just need to give him more time to get use to us? The shaking thing is really kind of freaking me out. (Also he shows no signs of an RI)

I just had such an easy time w Elizabeth as far as her being comfy with us. In fact she is a not a normal ...normal. She enjoys being out with us more than in her cage.

Okay guys...thank you for your input.
