okay, as you all have seen, we just recently purchased a '10 lavender albino retic. we got him home and put him in a 55gal tank in our living room, and got him out everyday and he never acted crazy or anything, he was awesome... well after the first week we noticed signs of RI, so we put him in a tote in the snake room. would get him out, he would be fine, and then last week we tried to feed him a live rat because we have been unable to transfer him to f/t yet. and the rat covered him with the mulch, and scratched him up pretty good. well since then, he has went bonkers... you touch him with the hook to get him out and he jets out of the tote like a bat out of hell, and is GONE... well once you get him to calm down and you get pick him up with the hook hes okay, then poops and pees all over you. well just a minuet ago, i noticed he dumped his water and i got him out and he was okay, and i held him and commenced to clean his tote, and then he out of no where went crazy again and took off, and i grabbed the hook to get ahold of him and he peed all over me again and head butted me twice.

HELP PLEASE!!!?!

any tips???
