Hello! I'm new here and need some pointers. I already know that you're supposed to wait a week or 2 before handling a new bp. I do know that everyone is different and have handled their bp way before a week has passed. Well, I received my male het pied yesterday from BHB Reptiles and as soon as I took the bag out, he starts striking. I know I would strike too if I were in a box being jumbled around on a FedEx truck, but he also struck at me when he was in his tank. How long have you guys left your ball alone and how long before you feed it? My ball is already out of his hide and has been exploring his tank non stop. Could he be hungry or just curious about his new home? Any advice would help! Thanks!
