One of my hatchling males was just like that when I got him, strikes at everything. One time when I was cleaning his tub I put him back in on the far side of it and he actually crawled all the way to the close end just to bite me.
oh, man that is hilarious, ive never heard of a BP actually coming up to you just to bite you lol
Should've seen how he did it; he periscoped but kept his neck back like in a strike pose and managed to keep it that way with his head about 3 inches off the bottom the whole time he crawled over... just so he could strike literally the instant he was in range.
