The last few days i've been getting the suspicion that my Uro(his name is Yog) might be afraid of his reflection. He'll spend alot of time just staring at his reflectiont hen retreating into the log he sleeps in. Anybody else have this problem? I taped a bunch of newspapers to the side of his cage to try and remedy the problem but am a bit concerned that htis could somehow make things worse. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't think he's afraid of his reflection. I find that when you cover the walls, they climb them less too. If you have a skiddish uro, I'm sure there's a reason. Do you handle him often? When did you get him?

I got him about a month ago, and handle hima bout once a day. Should I handle him more/less? In all actuality there may not be a problem and i'm just being overprotective, I have a tendency to do that with him.
