My retic is the same way and all my cages were brand new. Caesar loves to be petted and loves to hang out on the litter dam when i open the door. He sometimes gets a wild hair and climbs on top of the cage stack or hangs down and goes to the floor but overall, he is happy to just hang out in the cage. It's a 72x30x18 AP T25. And Caesar is about 7-8 feet.
I assume you have hides on the warm and cool side? Just give him time, he will mellow out im sure once he explores everything. Also when did you last feed him? I know my retic windshield wipes at night when he wants petting or he wants food. Maybe you got a weirdo retic like mine. Try petting him for about 20 mins and see if he mellows out and lays down. That's what Caesar does.
