up. If you might be releasing him, do not handle him- it's safer for him if he's afraid of people. So for now (while you're deciding how he feels about being in a cage)
it's hands off...just try to read his body language, and don't get him used to eating f/t, btw. What are your daytime temperatures lately?
I'm not handling it, just when I had to catch it and put in a cage. I won't feed f/t much, I was mostly curious if it would even eat one since it's wild. I'll probably catch a lizard or something for it if I keep it a little while before releasing. Our temperatures here in north east florida are all over the place... today the low was 34 and high is 55. A few days ago the high was in the low 80s.. even in December and January temps can be hot enough that you are in short sleeves and sweating... and then a day later it's freezing..
