heh, yeah i know its difficult. and he's back in now for atleast 15-20 hours. he's just so placid though, he actually seems more worried when i move away from him - he tries to latch onto a finger or something. when i put him back into the box he just sits on my hand and looks at me. lol, i have to pick him up and put him in.
when i have 'handled' him im not active though, ive just let him find a nook or crevice where he feels safe and i leave him be, while i type or something. he just sits there till i put him back..
