Stanley balled up the first time I picked him up at the reptile store- but after a few seconds he unwound and started moving around my hands and arms. I brought him home and except for one time when I picked him up out of his tank when he balled for a few seconds he doesn t ball up in his tank or when I hold him. In his tank he goes in his hide and coils around but doesn t ball up tight or anything and when I hold him he crawls around like crazy.

I ve had him for 2 days - he is due to eat tomorrow according to the reptile store- so I know he might be hungry. Also- he is farm born and raised- not wild- so he has been handled since he was hatched so I figured that was why he likes to be held.

I figured he was just a confident guy and that is why he doesn t ball up- since I thought they only did that when they were stressed or nervous but on a different questions someone implied there was something wrong with him because he was moving around so much.

Advice?

He is approx 3 months old and so far only the skin from his head has come off?
