I have picked up more of these than I can count, and every one of them has been a hostile bad arse. Musking and biting.

This one, well I cheated. it was a cold evening and we had a thick frost. When I picked him up and put him in the pillow case he was not mobile.

When he thawed he was in a fish tank. the first couple hours he was all over, but calmed right down.

I fed him the next day and he ate. That night he pushed the cover off the tank and got out, so I had to pick him up. he crawled up my arm and remained very calm. so I kept him out for about a half hour before I put him back. (secured the cover this time)

He is also very tolerant of the kids playing with him.

Regards,
Wayne
