How long should I wait to handle my new BP?
Hi guys! Recently, on Sunday, I went to the White Plains reptile show, and bought myself a little normal BP, which has now been named Paarthurnax. While coming home, since I was in the passenger seat, I took him out for a moment to give him another look over, and he seemed quite calm, flicking his tongue and trying to explore around him, before resting on my arm for the rest of the ride. After introducing him to his new tub setup, even though I had heard you should wait a few days, the breeder mentioned he hadn't fed in about a week, so I offered a thawed fuzzy, and he took it down quite quickly, but only after I laid it down in the cage and he could get a look at it for a few minutes. Its been about 2 days now, and with how comfortable he seems to already be, do you guys think it would be ok for me to start trying to handle him in small amounts? I'm not completely sure how old he is, but he is about 2 feet in length and a male, if that helps.
