this is a first for me. we have had vernon for about 3 weeks. he is doing well and feeding well too. yesterday though, i noticed that as i placed my hand into the viv to handle, he seemed to go into an S position which i interpreted as aggression. i decided not to handle him. a few minutes later though, my son just opened the lid and picked him up with not much hullaballoo. is the aggression normal? or was that really aggression? vernon is around 2 feet long. largest girth is probably the size of an italian sausage. if he does strike, will the bite cause bleeding? is it painful? anything to be worried about?

thanks!
