Didn't think I'd be posting on here again so soon, but I've got another concern.

Was handling my ball today before bed, (about 1am, so I'm fairly certain he was awake) and he started to get a little antsy, so I went to put him back in his tank and he immediately struck at his heat lamp. I got spooked by the sudden movement and dropped him, only 2 or 3 inches onto some soft bedding. It didn't seem to phase him, and he went into his hide.

He's only about a month old, and was fed on Friday. I feed him thawed rat pups. He also shed last Monday, so his vision isn't impaired. He's in a 10 gallon, with zoo-med forest flooring, two hides (on different sides), appropriately sized water dish, and a temperature of 85-90 degrees. I maintain his humidity with a spray bottle and a damp towel. He's also in a very low traffic part of the house.

He's usually very docile and "snoozy", so I'm wondering if I should be feeding him more, if something's wrong with his home, or if that was his way of saying "Put me down, jackass."

Thanks for any help.
