Not sure - what size tank is he in --- are you approaching from above him? Hes stressed from relocation-- its gonna take some time for him to get used to you-- continue to put your hands in the tank dont push him he will adjust to you putting your hands in the tank every day and see that they are not a threat-- try hand feeding him --- Hiccup was aggressive when I brought him home at around 3 months of age but I just kept putting my hands in the tank - I would handle him when I wanted to - eventually he will come around -- where did you get him from? Can you post pics of the tank and his lighting?

Sorry for such the long wait for reply!! He’s in a 40 gallon tank. I’m not sure how to post pictures on here haha but he has a 10.0
UVB light as well as a basking spot and a cooling spot. I got him from petsmart! His substrate atm is paper towels but it was carpet before. I’ve noticed that he usually doesn’t have stress marks whenever I give him baths but his tail does get black :/ I’ve also noticed that he only ever gets stress marks when I’m near him, in the room with him, and/or I’m handling him. So maybe he’s just not used to me yet? I often put my hands in his terrarium and pet him and sometimes I handle him but he usually just jumps out of my hand
I’m afraid he may never like me. I am in school so I not there for 6 hours for a day but when I am I’m usually petting him in his terrarium
