    Any exotic pet should be handled only when absolutely nessasary!
    Totally agree. Like i said i very well known they are not cuddle bugs or meant to handle everyday. But from feeding him in a different tank, i have to handle him every so often during the week and i like having a good look at him while i have him in my hands for any bugs or deformation or sores/curs. I just dont want those moments to be high stress everytime. So was looking for other peoples interactions stories basically. I dont need my little guy to be right stressed oyt everytime you know? It would be upsetting having him sick or colorless all the time because of it

    Just hoping he gets better with time!

    try to feed him in his tank, no need to move anywhere. He'll be less stressed, he is jumpy because he is scared. Try tong feeding.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
