Mean little sucker!

I have had a few bp's that are that way. My pied use to strike at me every time I opened his tub. With work he has calmed down. I am still working on calming my spider mojave down. She is getting better, but still huffs at me every time I pick her up. With regular handling your little bp should calm down.

I think you need to let him bite you so you know what it feels like and you will be less scared of it when it happens. I will go out on a limb and say any serious herper has been bitten at least a few times. My wrist was the victim of my 9ft reticulated python. But after that a BP bite seems like a needle prick.

I second that. In the 8 years I've owned I've been tagged at least 6 times. Only half of those drew a little blood. But it still makes me jump back when they strike.

He may mellow out after a while. But if you're saying he took F/T the first time offered to him he may just be hungry.
