it may have been the whole swooping down thing because I went for him pretty quickly the first time and he went from playfully roaming to trying to escape. I don't by any means have nerves of steel and this is my first reptile. So I've got to get used to him just as he needs to get used to me. This whole incident happened yesterday. I just walked over to his tank and gave his back and sides a little pet and he got right up and crawled around my arm a little and went back to his little spot next to his hot side hide...![]()
