Hey all
Was handling my yearling Diamond today, when wiping down his enclosure I had him draped around my shoulders/neck which i do occasionally, he generally will just chill there or explore my hair.
He seemed comfortable so i put on the tv and sat down. After 10 or so mins i heard a little huffing sound, basically like an exaggerated exhale. Only because he was close to my ears could i hear it. He did it a couple more times sporadically and i figured ok something is making you uncomfortable lets put you back.
As i was removing him from my neck he did it a few more times but his body language appeared relaxed the whole time. He got off fine and moved around in my hands for a a few minutes before being put away.
So are these little noises him being grumpy? The only time ive heard him make a similar noise is if he is asleep and i nudge him with the hook to wake him up. If anything these noises werent as loud/aggressive? I wouldn't call it a hiss.
Interested to hear other peoples experiences with this. On a side note he only shed a couple weeks ago and had done a crap the day before so i figured he wasnt digesting.
