My first thought did he escape? I grab my flashlight and put it on the lowest setting.I guess you know what comes next.....I barely shined it on his burrow entrance and seen his legs so I go, ok cool.He shoots out of his burrow and goes into a threat pose. First time ever he's done this to me and scared the poop out of me. I now know never to shine the light in there again. It's also my first threat pose experience.I understand why but man.....this is gonna change the whole ball game interacting with him. For the record I'm a hands off keeper, I don't handle. I can see feeding time might give me a run for my money now.I don't know how you guys deal with old world, fast moving and highly defensive species. I will never be able to deal with those.PS. Just looked on Amazon for toilet paper and most are sold out. What the hell is with this toilet paper hoarding......argh</blockquote>
