I bought my first BP on July 16th and after holding him for a little bit that day I put him inside his terrarium and left him alone. I bought the wrong hide (large half log) and changed them out the next day. When do so he became really aggressive and began striking at me repeatedly I had to throw a small hand towel over him so I could finish changing out his hides. A few days after that when I was checking his temps I was at eye level with the opening of his hide my face hitting the glass. I think this may have been because he was hungry. When I bought him that was his feeding day and I waited until last Friday to feed him and gobble the fuzzy down. I've left him alone since then. He's a very shy but aggressive BP he hardly ever comes out of his hide. So when handling what's the best way to approach him. Slow and easy I'm sure and if he strikes just keep trying? I'm not afraid of getting bit I already have been and it startles you more than it hurts. Any tips are appreciated!
