Yes, the breeder I got him from is full time, I think, and he said he never handled them.
I've noticed that whenever I change his water or spot clean, if he wakes up, he'll either strike at me or just stick his head out of his hide and stare at me. When holding him, he's very tense, keeping his eyes on me, or he'll strike at things that get too close to him (even objects). Plus he peed and pooped on me. No hissing though, so that's a plus!
Also I use a hook to get him out.
I gave him a full week of absolutely no interaction to settle in. He's eaten for me successfully twice now. He's been like this since the beginning of our handling.
How often should I handle him to start the taming process?
