Just to add to this intro, I got a Hamster yesterday, it didn't take me long haha His name is Slinky, he is a Syrian Hamster and the lady I got him from said he is a satin? No idea on coat colours, but I will post some pics of him soon.
The SD card I have for our camera broke, so I took these on the webcam hence the bad quality lol
Peek a boo
Big bum
Washing
Dig dig dig
The weird patch on his side was from the water bottle, he rubbed his side up against it.
I've had him for a few days, he is still wary but has improved loads in such a short space of time. I don't think he was handled much at all where he came from. He would flinch when being touched and just grumble, but now he is great. He doesn't mind me touching him and he crawls on my hand. Still got a way to go but he's improving all the time, which is awesome.

It's best not to wake them if you can. But he's very lovely! Glad he's taming up. My syrian doesn't like being touched unless she wants strokes - she just bends out of the way of my hand - and doesn't come out unless she wants to (I can obv just pick her up if I want though). So you're very lucky

Yeah I don't usually bother him, but I had to get him up this once during the daylight cause the webcam is really crap! I'll leave him be now and have a play when he gets up on his own later on as usual. He went straight back to bed once I had finished lol He's a good boy.
I'm sure you'll be a great parent to him,
It's sometimes necessary to wake them out if they need cleaning out, but obviously different people have different opinions on wether to wake them or not so that's a choice for you to make (i know you said you're not going to, I'm just saying sometimes I need to wake up my little lazy lumps!)
He looks lovely, and his hair is really glossy.. was he adopted? or from a woman who bred him?
Hope he's settling in well
