So I have a vanishing pattern siniloan milk. Purchased him in Sept 09. was told he's a he an was about a year old but was on the small side when I got him still eating pinkies. He is bigger now an ate 2 fuzzies the other day. I'm not worried about his size or how I have him housed in his 10 gallon tank. Thats all fine.



He's STILL such a spaz when I get him out for handling. Couple months ago he seemed to have calmed down but today...wow...first off he has to poo / pee all over. I know thats coming so I take him over the bathroom sink an just let him do whatever till he stops. Then its time to spaz out, fling himself all around to get out of my hands. I mean I have to hold him near his head to keep him from flinging all over. When I think he calms down a bit I'll loosen my grip but then hes at it again. Eventually I think he tires himself out an moves FORWARD instead of BACKWARDS in my hands. ***Sigh***.....Won't he ever be more calmer? I held him at least 45 minutes this afternoon before he started to move forward an I had to put him back in his house.



He's so pretty an his pattern is neat...he's red / black with yellow pattern spots down his body. yellowish belly. black head with some red little spots on his snout. Black tail. I'm not going to rehome him just cause he's a spaz to hold. Just wish he would calm down. well, thanks for reading an / or any replies.
