good to hear you are able to handle him I have a rescue corn that was not handled much at all and she would always strike at me or my husband when we would go into her tank for ANYTHING. Eventually she came around and now she is pretty good about us going in her "space" lol. She still gets a little upset and sometimes will "rattle" her tail to WARN us. lol. I haven't been bit by her...yet...
