So today when I had taken him out he seemed to keep wanting to move closer to my head which makes me nervous because he's attempted to strike at my face before, which then I decided it was time for him to go back and as I was opening his tank up he thought it was a good idea to strike at the tank opening.
I've always tried to hold him so I'm supporting his entire body so that he doesn't feel like he's going to fall.
