    I had a cat glove on one hand just for personal reassurance, since I assumed this would happen and was nervous.

    When he realized he wasn't going anywhere, he stopped fighting my hold, struck the glove 2-3 times, then redirected these efforts to my face (of course).

    He maintained this focus (defensive, striking pose) until I put him back in his tub, and when I did, he started rattling his tail.


    My impression? A lot stronger and faster than I expected.Definitely more intense than a ball python
    I do wonder if this will improve with time or not.

    Wow! Sounds like you had quite the adventure with him. Hopefully he calms down for you but only time will tell. At least you have such a gorgeous animal.
