Maybe not...

I tried to pick up Mortiis earlier andit didn't go well, he spun round pretty fast, obviously I wasn't fast enough.

I tried with the tweezer/forceps and he totally went for them, grabbing and swinging his tail about at them. He really doesn't want to be picked up.

I think its best to leave him too it, I would like the possibility of handling him in the future but if hes not going to be calm or placid enough for me to pick him up, so be it.
