did he show interest in you when you where not handling him? I mean, did he come to you when you where the near the enclosure, or did he actively avoid contact unless you forced it on him?

I'm wondering if it is possible to have the best of both worlds, proper temperatures, but more interaction - but not if it is going to instill a persistent fear that will reduce its quality of life
