How long have you had George? Are you messing around with him or his set-up alot? Where do you have it placed? Does he come out to eat at all? Some don't like a lot of attention, some don't mind. I know that when I got my latest boxie Jelly Bean she did hide alot, but is more comfortable now. Even Matilda, my first, still hides alot. But they do come out to eat and will watch what I am doing. My Male, SweetPea is very active and curious. Guess what I am saying is some are shy and some are not.

I've had George for about 11 years. He's always been fussy at times but surprisingly curious about everything that's going on in his habitat and outside as well (i don't think he's ever figured out the concept of glass). However, I think I freaked him/ticked him off with the bright UVB lamp I originally put in there last week and since I switched I think I was still dealing with his original upset. Today he's started being his old self and coming out to say hello when I come in....(i begged for forgiveness with a dozen fat crickets & it seemed to work ok). So, atleast I know now I can resort to bribery if I have to, but he seems to be more content now.
