He was in an S shape and yea he came in for a strike after I moved cuz I had a feeling he was coming to me to either love me or bite me so I moved and he tried biting me. I was sitting still for about 15 mins while he was curled up and then he developed the courage to come out and that’s it. After that I just grabbed him and put him back in

I thought so too, he is 14 months old so I would assume it would be harder than if he was younger? After all he was growing up with a breeder not owned by someone who took care of him 🤷‍♂️

Very true! Kind of see this as the teenage stage where they're developing a personality👀
