oh yeah I saw your ad. He’s a wild so the aggression is normal he’s never dealt with humans. Its a possible chance he could have diseases or parasites. Just no my male the 1st 2 pics is a wild himself but he’s never been aggressive and is perfectly healthy. Just give him from 4-7days to rest in his cage without you touching him. Then the fun starts haha. Start handling him for like 30min. a day except after he eats. If he tries to bite you you can either take the bite if it doesnt hurt haha or cover his face with like a rag or shirt or something then pick him up. Once he’s in your hands let him do as he pleases. If he doesnt move just stiff in your hands then let him be stiff and if he does move just make sure you dont touch his face. Basically let him do the movements dont encourage him to move yourself. Isnt it already hot in mexico do you really need a hot lamp? Well anyway just be patient it could take a couple of months. It will happen little by little first he’ll stop striking just hissing then he’ll stop hissing just running away and soon he’ll actually let you pick him up but he’ll be just nervous in your hands. Then again he might never get tamed haha. But seriously good luck.
