I got Jake about 1 month ago he is about 4 months (I think) when I first brought him home he was friendly. Stepped up on my hand when I put my hand in the tank.
would sit on my chest while I was watching tv. But for the past week he is very skiddish when I put my hand in the tank or open the door he puffs up and holds his mouth open in attack mode, then takes off running all over the tank. If I happen to catch him, he is fine again, eats from my hand lets me pet him. But if I put him back home after he calms down it starts all over again. His tank about 6 feet long so its not a small tank, 2 heating lights 2 basking lights and 2 UV lights at the other side of the tank. (image included) I don't know what to do, if I don't tame him now I won't be able to when he is bigger and tries to bite. Please help. He eats meal worms, kale, carrots, butternut squash, pumpkin etc.... lets me put him in water (bath)... I just don't know what changed. Please help...
