Stressed BP :(
so as some of you may know I got a rescue BP about 2 weeks ago and he seemed to have settled into his new cage (stays in his hides during the day and comes out to roam at night) so I have been handling once a day for the last 5 days or so for about 5 minutes at a time... but today I went to pick him up and it sounded like he hissed at me (which I don't think they do correct me if I am wrong) so I think it's just a super deep fast exhale... am I doing something wrong? should I continue to try and hold him and just let him tell me when he doesn't feel like it by "hissing"? or should I leave him alone for another week? or should I do a combination of that and add crumpled newspaper in his cage as I have read that a few times on the forum for stressed snakes?
oh and I have the humidity at 60% and the cold side is around 80-85 and the hot side is around 90-95
