Mines a colombian, but he was the same way when I first got him. They are very bitey and pissy when they are that young (usually). I just left mine completely alone for a week except to check temps and change water and I kept his tub covered with a towel. It took daily handling (and quite a few bites later) for weeks before mine finally realized he doesn't scare me lol. Good luck! Their bark is way worse then their bite![]()
