His husbandry is spot on, as much as I can tell. He is in a 20 gallon long tank. The cool side of his cage is 81 degrees, and the hot side is 93. His humidity is 52%, He has the right size hides and no bright shining lights on him.

I have had him for two weeks, and I have only just started handling him a few days ago. He doesn't seem to mind it in the slightest (no striking or hissing or tight balling). He will happily explore my hand and not remain in a small coiled ball in my palm, so I take it as a good sign that he isn't beyond terrified of me.

I think I will wait a few more days to offer him another rat, and I'll turn the lights off and cover his cage and such so that it is private.
