    Default Dr.Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde

    Zilla has been doing something kind of weird the past 2 months. I take him out (to eat, to roam etc) and when I go to put him back I gently set him on the cage floor and he crawls out of my hand once he is out of my hand if i go to pet him he shoots off really fast. he doesn't bite or hiss but he keeps running. He never does this when I first go to handle him he only does it when he re-enters the cage.

    Do you try to pet him coming from behind or from the top ? He probably will not do this if he sees you coming.

    A couple of mine are weird when they get back in their cage. Maybe it's like, "I'm home, I'm home....OH NO! The hand is coming back!" lol.

    That is strange. To be honest with you I don't know why he does it then. I'm sorry I can't help.
