    Also make sure your husbandry is all good because that could be stressing him out. He should grow out of it. So if you want to be able to handle him, here's an example schedule to try. Let's say you feed on Tuesday like me...Wed, Thurs - leave him alone to digest. Fri, Sat, Sun - handle for 15 minutes (each day) letting him move through your hands freely. Mon - leave alone, Tues - leave alone and feed. You can then gradually increase handling times. No fast movements around him or people walking back and forth around the person holding him. Use hand sanitizer before picking him up ensuring the santizer is completely absorbed into hands. Be careful on days after feeding because he could possibly poop on you.



    I don't know, just a thought.
