So today I checked inside Clyde's warm hide for urine/poo and after I scooped it out I figured I would hold him for a bit. I was sitting in my computer chair with him balled up in my hand and I turned away to look at the TV and out of the corner of my eye I saw him leap towards me...nearly out of my hand. So I set him my bed and he just sat there not moving. I stood up from my chair and he took another leap at me. After that I just put him back in his enclosure and left him alone. Is this normal in the early stages? I see people always comment on how docile BPs are and how they almost never strike at you. He did just eat a large meal Friday...could this have anything to do with it? If so what's a good way to handle him regularly when he is on a 7 day feeding schedule without messing with digestion etc.?

Thanks to everyone for all the awesome feedback. It's great to know I have good resources in my BP owner adventures!
