I am the proud new owner of a seven month old male BRB. He is an awesome little camper. I have had him about four days now. When i first got him into his new home he loved it. went exploring found his favorite spot and has been chilling ever since. I am really determined to ensure that he is a happy guy. I have been obsessive over keeping a 77-82% humidity and an ambient temp of 83 with a high side of 87 and a cool side of 79. Now here is the strange part I cannot figure out. Last night I went to take him out for his usual nightly handling and he chilled around my hand for a few minutes then started exploring then climbed back up onto my hand, and for lack of a better word, passed out. Just kind of went limp, he was still aware and moving and whatnot but was not using any strangth to keep himself attached to my hand. I got scared and thought maybe he got shocked by the room temp vs tank temp so i quickly put him back in the tank, and he seemed to immediately recover and went off to his favorite hide spot. I took him out this morning and he did the exact same thing, this time as soon as i removed him from the cage. Is something wrong with him physically? or is he expressing displeasure at being handled? Am i doing something wrong? whats teh deal? I am really trying to make sure he is a happy little guy, but passing out is kind of strange... any help helps... Thanks
