make sure his temps are within range and make sure he has enough hides to feel right at home. Also dont handle him for the next week or so. If you do your only going to stress the animal out even more than he already is from being put in a new home. He needs to get use to his new enclosure before you start handling him or you will cause unnecessary stress which could lead to a vet vist and 30 days on antibiotics
