I don`t know how to remedy this...

He`s not very old, only about half a year old, if that, and I`ve only had him for about 2 months.

He seems to me to be foul tempered & a bit jittery. He`s gotten sued to me walking by and looking in at him, but even when someone new comes in, he`ll climb down from his perch, open his mouth wide and stare at them. Even when they justw alk by, I might notice him doing this behaviour.

He dislikes me reaching in to give him his veggies, watering, cleaning something, etc. He won`t necessarily become aggresive, but he will usually run off to hide, or open his mouth and become a little bit threatening in his acting. He also refuses to allow me to handle him.

if I reach in and just lay my hand down in front of him, he`ll stare at it for a good hour, and if i dare to move my hand away he`ll run off.

Now, I don`t know if this is usual for his age, or because I`ve only had him about 2 and 1/2 months, or what. I`d appreciate it if anyone could help me with this, as I really don`t want him to be afraid or anything like that.
