Thanks!

I've been talking to my husband about it, and we really don't want the set back. I handled him for the first time in a few days last night, to clean his cage and provide him with a newly built hide, and he was GREAT! He hung out with me for about 10 minutes, calm as can be... when my husband reached to stroke his head, he gaped at him. Which was a first. We gave him a few more minutes, and he tried again and succeeded to pet him without any gaping or defensiveness.
He did, in fact, still manage to crap on me, but he did it AS I was setting him into the freshened up enclosure.

Personally, from what he was on day 1 to what he is now, I see a degree of comfort with us. And hope that it grows.
