Ok so I had posted about my new BP, I had gotten him a day after he came out of the shell from a breeder my husband sold a car too. Well I'm glad tto say he's doing well, he shedded a week after he was born. I probably did the wrong thing but I wanted to try feeding him thawed mice before a live one. Well tto no surprise he didn't want it. That was Sunday, I didn't wanna stress him more so I'm waiting a few days and going to try with a live hopper. Well my pproblem is I just changed his water and just went to pet him twice and he struck at me, he didn't latch on it was was just quick. I'm assuming it's cuz he's a baby and I scared him and he's really only been handled once before last Sunday. Now my question is after I try feeding him and he eats, how do I go about getting him used tto being handled and avoid getting bit again. One of the things I was thinking, and correct me if I'm wrong, was to handle him durring the day when he would be more groggy instead of at 10:30pm when he's on full alert. Ima a noobe only had snakes for 3 months now so any advice is greatly appreciated. ( and yes I'm already aware that the breeder should nnot of givin him to my husband till he had eaten atleast 3x, there's no going back
so I'm just trying to do the best possible) Thanks in advance!
