I've had my bp for a little over a week now, this coming Thursday will be two weeks.
I haven't handled him all that much, he's super skittish. I read that they should have 1 to 2 weeks to acclimate to their new surroundings.

When I touch him, he tenses up and he was on a vine and I was going to pick him up, but he had a death grip on the vine...wrapped his body around it hehe.
If I touch him when he's on the ground, he gets jumpy and defensive.

He hasn't hissed or struck at me yet. He has gotten into position for a strike, but I think he's bluffing.
Should I give him a little more time or start handling him and tame him out asap?

I don't want to push him and stress him out, but I also don't want to go too long and risk him not getting comfortable being handled.

Might be time for some tough love hehe.
