My okeetee did that if I gave him time to see me coming. If I picked him up smoothly straight after lifting his hide, he would usually do the zoom and flee for a minute and settle down. Took longer the smaller he was, but never too long. The only time he did the "rawr, fear me" act was once when I hesitated seeing him in blue the first time (@ 8 grams). He kind of just bounced off a fingernail the only strike he tried that even touched me, as blind as he was.
I managed to get a picture of it. So scary.
