This may sound silly but I could use some handling tips on my young BCI. I’ve had him for almost a year (currently weighs around 350-400grams). I try to handle him at least once a week but when I do, I always find a time when he’s in his hide to grab him. Whether it’s a confidence thing or what, I usually pass on trying to get him out when he’s out of his hide. I guess my fear is that I’ll struggle trying to pry him away from a branch and he’ll defensively strike at me. For the record, he’s only ever struck once when I first got him and once or twice at night time against the glass when walking close to his enclosure. He’s very food driven! Otherwise he’s been super docile when I have him out.
Am I making a mistake by only choosing to take him out when he’s in his hide??
Here’s some pictures of the little guy.
