[QUOTE="jordanily, post: 187924, member: 35646"] Hi everybody! I got my pink toe male on Sunday (1/09/2021). I relocated him to his cage on 1/10/2021 (early AM), a few hours after getting him. He went in without a problem. He ate the 2 crickets the pet store gave me. He ate the first one on Sunday, 1/10 and he ate the second one probably 2ish days ago. My question to you all: I watched videos and I spoke with the pet store before leaving on handling. I know to test his mood before attempting to hold him and I move him by lightly nudging his back legs with a pen. He moves around the tank when I do this. He just goes in all around the walls of the tank. After a few tries, he starts to crawl up towards my hand which I have my palm laid out for him to crawl on. He starts to touch my hand, crawls a little more up, and turns around and goes back down into the tank. Am I doing something wrong? I appreciate all advise. I don't want to aggravate him, either. He was extremely friendly at the pet store. I'm attaching a photo because this was tonight. I think I did slightly bother him, judging by his positioning. [/QUOTE]
