It was all about the flashlight, he hates it.He's fine now. He stays outside of his hide all day. I tested his temperment by rubbing my finger on the part of the plastic he's on of his enclosure to see if he threat poses again. Got nothing, I'm pretty sure I just startled him and it ticked him off. I have to admit though after the jump scare I was watching him for a little bit because it was kind of cool. I've only seen threat poses on video so it was definitely cool.Oh nooooo #1 rule I have for myself is no hands allowed in their enclosure, period no matter how docile they are.</blockquote>
