Thank you. I couldn't agree more on its tameness... He was only a little skittish at Petco but once I got him home and in the new viv I was able to handle him a few hours later and he was lovin it lol

Also with the feeding, I though I'd have to wait like a week before I could get him to eat and the lady who assisted me in getting him worked in the fish department and wasn't 100% sure on the last time he ate so I was a little parranoid about him not being fed in a while (you know chain pet stores...) But last night I said maybe he'll be down for a meal and boy was I right... I dangled a F/T pinkie and he just opened up and took it then I gave him another one lol

I fed him two pinkies last night, how long should I wait before I handle him again? Is two days (48 hrs) enough?

Two days is the rule I go by after feeding.
