Thanks FireEyes for the reply. The breeder I got him from said he was a real sweetie and not agressive at all -so I hope that is true. I think he was just scared and unsure of his new environment. I plan to leave him alone for awhile so he can get acclimated.

I am always nervous when picking up new arrivals simply because I don't know how they will react - I have two bp's that have never striked at me.

This new RTB (also a BCI) is an '08 and is pretty good size already. If he does bite me - how do you get them off of your arm??? LOL
