I last posted at the beginning of June when I first got my BP. I had quite a dew husbandry issues which have now been resolved thanks to the great advice I was given on here

However apart from 2 seconds to place him into a rub while I cleaned his viv, I haven't handled him at all. He's approx 3 years old. I tried to get him out last week and he struck at me. This scared the crap outta me. I was nervous about handling him anyway So I shut the viv and left him alone. I know some may say to ignore it and carry on, but it scared me and he looked very defensive.

Basically I urgently need sone handling tips. Best time if day? from his hide? And any other help you can give me.

The guy who had him before didn't handle him much, I handled him before I bought him home and he seemed fine. He's eating fine, he had a crappy shed when I first got him but he's all clear now tho.

Many thanks in advance
