I had one for a while and sold him.

He was very tame, gorgeous looking and ate like a pig with no
problems to speak of. The reason I ended up selling him was
because I hate to use newspaper, I prefer something more natural
looking. I was using cypress mulch which looks good and holds
humidity perfectly. The problem was, that he would always be
hiding underneath mulch, all the time. He'd only come out at night to feed.

My dumerils would hide occasionally when he was little, but not
all the time. Also taking the dumerils out and handling him was
always easy. My brb wouldn't mind being handled but he was
always on the move. He felt more like a captive to me than a
pet. I don't want to dissuade you, that's just my experience.
