I got my first BP Dec. 15 of last year. Today was the first day I have handled him since he has been at my place.

I gave him a nice long adjustment period and made sure I got him on a regular feeding schedule (he has been fed 3 times here) before I took him out of his aquarium.

I had been letting the little dude get used to his home. Today I took him out and let him roam a bit on my hands and on the coffee table. He was out of his aquarium for about 25 minutes. At first he was very shy and balled up. After about 10 minutes he started moving all over my hands and roamed on the table. I moved to another spot in my place with him and when I stood up and moved a bit he balled up. Overall I think this was an excellent first handling as he wasn't scarred the whole session. He is back to regular behavior in his little home.

My question is...

As far as handling is concerned: Should I handle him sparcly at first? So he gets used to being out of his cage? Or will he be able to be handled regularly now (daily, a couple times a day)? Is their a handling break in period?

Just looking for some advice.
