i just poked him with the pencil to see if he will strike or not and he did. But anyway, the reason I'm handling him now is that I ordered bunch of stuff (the 2nd hide, UTHs, thermometer, water bowl, background etc...) and they are due on the 24th. Once I get them I'm planning on setting up his tank once and for all and then introducing him to it, and not bothering him for at least a week. Another problem is that I think it's time to feed him but I don't know whether I should do it now, or wait until his tank is ready, or just take him out, feed him and put him back. I also don't know if he will eat at all cause it seems like he is very stressed.
