Hi guys so ii went to go turn off olivers light for the night i noticed he was acting a lil weird. As soon as i approached his terrarium he hid in his shell and "hissed". Which he usually doesn't do that. As i opened up his terrarium to pet his shell and try to coax him out (which usually works) he continued to "hiss"and hide in his shell. I took him out to try and calm him down nd hes "running" all over the place. I dont have any other animal or neone who could have walked into my room to spook him. His temps is 95 in his basking spot and 80%humidity. Has anyone had this or similar happen to them. Should i be concerned? Or am i over reacting. Thanks

Maybe he sees dead people...


Nah. Don't worry about it. He'll calm down and get over it. Most of them are timid to some degree or other until around three years old. That's when I see them start to get pretty fearless, bold, and march right up to people.
