Hey guys whats up. Well Past week Apocolypse has been very Mean. Everytime I stick me hand in the tank he goes crazy running around and worried. Then when he stops, He will get into defense mode. Mouth Open, Hissing, and ready to Bite!!! And Yes he has already biten me a few times. Doesnt hurt yet but IDK why he is even biting me. My wife says ohh its because he is shedding, but I dont think that is the case. Even when Giving him his usual bath he will try to bite when I need to take him out. He hasnt been like this before, never went to bite me or get this ferocious. What do you guys think?

Has anything changed in his tank? Anything in the house? Have you started to use a new soap or cologne or anything?

I added some Fake Leaves or whatever you want to call it. Put it in his corner.

Could be.

I know with Luci, he is still real skittish around me, hasn't tried to bite me but he will back away from me and flail his legs about and try to get away from me if I come at him the wrong way to pick him up.

Stop approaching from above him. He is acting like you are a predetor. For the next few weeks try putting your hand on the floor of his viv with vegetables for him to eat. Don't pick him up (unless you are running him to the vet for some reason) and let him come to you.
