Advice for handling my first crestie
I got my little guy about 6 weeks ago and he is curious and often in hunting mode when he wakes up and likes to hunt water droplets. I put Pangea on my finger to start taming him and he bit me.😂 It didn’t hurt but it surprised both of us. Anyways now whenever I see him when he wakes up he’s waiting on his log for misting and likes to hunt the water dripping down. How can I start handling him and what is the best time to find him in a calm state but not wake him up? Thank you for any tips! He is my first reptile. The breeder said he has a good personality and he doesn’t seem too scared but I think I’m scared of what if he jumps and escapes or what if either of us panics when I pick him up and he jumps or falls.
