I just got him two days ago. I adopted him at 8 months old. His previous owners said he's very very friendly and loves everyone. Every time I try to pick him up, he just runs away from me! Everything in his tank is still the same (organized a little differently, maybe) and it's the same tank. It's not a tank with side doors, so I do have to go in from above, but I do my best to try and scoop him up from the sides of his belly.
UPDATE: OH, I did change his substrate. His previous owners used sand and some type of pellets, which I switched to lizard carpet.
Help! Is he just stressed with a new home? I really want to handle him a lot to ensure he's friendly.
I have a Reptisun UVB + 100w, a Flukers night time 100w bulb, and a UVB 10.0 light (I forgot the brand). His basking spot is @ 102, and his cooling area is @ 86. I can post pictures upon request.
