annnnd shedding.they like to be left alone for a shed. and thanks for asking that question flying squeek.im a fairly new bp owner as well.ive only been handling my baby 2-3x a week for 20-45min at a time.shes a pig so i think i can handle more.

my bp acted the same at first too.super shy and did the defense pose when i went in her tank.after my mentioned handling whenever i go in her tank she pops out and stares at me curiously not defensively.
"foooood,nope its that mammal again,what the heck is he doing with my water,whats he doing with my water,wheres he going with my water,oh man oh man,ok new water,now hes bringing the rain again,oh man,hide,hide,rain gone,oh man,maybe if i stare at him hel go away,oh man hes picking me up,oh man,oh oh nice hes warm,im not getting eaten,cool a warm mammal to climb on and hiding spots everywhere,sweet."
