Well I try to handle him daily, ever since I got him. I got him right from the breeder and the breeder played with him for about 15minutes before I made my choice so I know he has a good heart in there.. somewhere lolOriginally Posted by Lolo76
Sometimes it does take a while for them to warm up, so give it more time... did you leave him alone for the first week, to get acquainted with everything? Just keep at it, and he should calm down for you soon - even my SUPER cranky het Albino is coming around, after a month of regular (about every other day) handling. He "hung out" on my lap the other night for like 10 minutes, with no attempts to strike or ball up. When I first got him, I actually had to use barriers (like a plastic hide or newspaper) whenever I got near, or he'd lunge and strike. So that is some real progress!
Then again, some BPs are just permanently pissy... LOL.
But no I didnt give him a week to himself, I pet him and picked him up all the time. Right now he is in the tank next to me and just staring at me
He also hiss's at me sometimes when I go to pick him up
