    Aggressive bp

    Hey, so i just bought a new male pin at the reptile expo last week guy told me he was a lil nippy but when i was holding him he seemed to be ok. Then when i was doing my weekly cleaning i realized what he was talking about non stop striking at me is there any way to cure this?

    Did he have enough time to adjust? Is your husbandry correct? Is he a baby?

    He is a baby and the husbandry is correct. I was just wondering cause the guy told me he was a lil bastard at times. is he always gonna be like that? Do you have any tips for me?

    Well it depends, I mean they all have different personalities. If you say your husbandry is correct and he had time to adjust and be left alone, then it may be just because he's a baby. They can be bitey and tend to grow out of it with handling and age. Good luck, you may have to take a few bites to get him over it

    Babies are more defensive than adult, it's totally normal, they do grow out of it, the key is patience, proper husbandry, proper feeding and limited handling for the time being.
