I would guess that the radical change in his cage has him out more, checking out the new "scenery".
I see your point :-) Agree about waking up and animal and same time lift it dosnt sound right, but he have been most the time in a cave, so i felt it was "safe" to take him out that way.
Now the opening in the terrarium is at front, so if he have his head pointing forward i just wondered if he could give me a bite to warn me. Would try to get him from behind like zinsubus said if it’s possible
