Right this sounds really silly I know but wanted opinions...

Pablos in blue, we haven't fed him as he seemed a little off.
I tried to get him out for a lil cuddle, he was fine didn't strike but whilst in my hands he was very tense, wouldn't rest on my skin he was virtually like a stick.
I feel bad for bothering him whilst he was like this.
is this normal behaviour...we have had him out when he was in blue before and he was fine.

Its perfectly normal. Their vision isn't too hot when they are in blue so they feel more threatened (wanted to use another term,but can't think of the word at the mo!) I tend not to handle mine if possible when in blue.

The reduced eyesight makes them feel vulnerable so they will generally want to stay in their hide. If he's staying in the hide, give him peace to get on with it. Just change drinking water and wait until after shed before feeding again. You can look but don't touch.
