so my bp has turned into a mean little rascal!!

This is the last BP i bought and i've had him for almost 2 months. I bought him from a breeder and he's a hatchling.

I respect his space so i was only handling once a week. just to weigh or clean his tank. he went into shed about two weeks after i got him, and then he stopped coming out of his hide. he was very bashful so he rarely poked more than his head out of his hide, and if he caught me even looking at him he'd retreat back into it.

well about two weeks ago i reached into his tank to grab his water bowl and change the water and he struck at me. i noticed when i removed the top he just sat there looking at me, which he never did before, i didnt think much of it though. so he struck at me, and he goes on the defensive anytime i reach into his tank now. he doesnt use his hide as much as he use to anymore either. still uses it a lot, but not as much. well now if i touch him he hisses at me! he's just a regular jerk to me now!

should i do something to calm him down? i have another bp that ive used the kind of hands off approach with and i have no problems with her. so i dont know what this guys problem is. should i handle him more? should i correct him when he is aggressive, like puppies?

im a little afraid of him now because i never know what he's going to do. but i dont want to be. lol. its embarrassing.
