Soaking him did seem to help. I had my wife get him out of his cage so I could do a little cleaning. It was her first time holding him, so she took him to the bathroom to put him in the tub. As she was kneeling down to put him in, he turned his head towards her arm and appeared to be smelling her hand. She freaked out and dropped him in the tub. He made a loud thud and took off out of the tub. I got him and put him back in. He relaxed and swam around for a bit. He then climbed up to the water faucet and wrapped around it. I left him alone for a while and finally got him off of the faucet and put him back in his cage. He seems to be ok.
