So for those of you who don't know what I am referring to, "The Hurricane" arrived at my doorstep this morning! https://www.chameleonforums.com/bagging-hurricane-109192/

Not going to lie... I was a little scared. But after finally getting through the heavy security of tape and zip ties... I managed to get my first look at this stunning beauty.

Now I'm stuck in the debate... do I risk it and stick my hand in? Or just let him go into his cage untouched by just setting the bag in there.

Screw it I thought-- and braving where few have gone before... stuck my hand into the bag of doom. What followed... i would say i wasnt expecting...

The little bastard ran straight up my arm and onto the top of my head. Now I cant see him... and he is just sitting there. Finally-- after some quick ninja moves, I got him to actually let me hold him. Though only briefly... i think the cold and trauma of the shipment switched him from the fight response to "flight".. because he took off into his cage right after

Oh he was OK as long as he thought you were a nice warm tree. YOU ruined it by moving! Now he knows you are just another annoying human and will treat you accordingly. That little face looked so innocent peering out of the bag. You'll probably have to go ahead and let him bite you...then you'll stop worrying about it as much. You have to admire his attitude facing a huge hairy odd-looking predator (you) anyway:D
