So Natsu has calmed down some what. I try to hold him each day (besides when in shed or right after he eats) for about 15-30 minutes depending on his body language. He has gotten where he will huff and hiss a little while out exploring on me and if he gets spooked he'll pee on me but he hasn't stuck at me since the first week, unless I put my hand in his cage to get him out. I've been using a hook to pull him out because if I put my hand in there he immediately gets in the strike pose. How can I work with him to be able to reach in and get him? Once he gets bigger I won't feel comfortable using the hook because I don't want to hurt him. Any advice would be appreciated! I don't mind getting tagged so if I need to just start putting my hand in his cage and leaving it in there till he gets used to that I will (that was suggested by a friend that has boas but I don't know if that works with bloods).
here's a pic of him waiting for me to spray his moss:
And then hen waiting for me to spray him:
And finally him after i sprayed him:
He loves his moss and always waits with his nose out for me to spray his head and then he'll sit there for a minute then go back into his moss and you can see it shifting around as he buries himself lol.
