Hey Guys
Stumpy has been with me for over six months now and everything has been all right uptill last few weeks. Noticed a major shift in his behaviour - he literally hates being handled now. Sometimes he just runs away and I give up on picking him up not to stress him up. Other times if I pick him up he inflates his lil airbags and pretty much doubles his size + seriously tries to run away. After few seconds he calms down and then spends and hour or so on my shoulder etc...
Why such a major behaviour change?
And another question what to do now? Should I give him some space or should I continue handling him to show who is the alpha lizard here? ;-)
