    He hasnt gotten used to you, dont try to pick him up from above, remove his tank decor and try to scoop him up or corner him and put your hand flat and try and get him to walk onto it, or if you come from in front and we walks backwards put your hand behind him so he walks onto it and than just hold them in your hand gently in his tank.

    Well, welcome to the world of reptiles - they prefer to be admired from their habitat / houses not being handled too much, he's acting like a ' Reptile ' and like many living things including people they aren't always nice ... which is what I like about reptiles, they don't require, want nor need much attention like say puppies, etc. They're cool just to have & look at rather than being handled & they know it ... LOL Take Care
