On Saturday we purchased a 7-9 month old male Pastel BP from a reptile expo. At the expo he was very docile, calm and easily handled. When we got him home he was the same. After being his new enclosure he is now fairly aggressive and striking at the glass. The enclosure is covered on 3 sides, he has 2 hides and everything else seems fine with it. I covered the front with a towel so he had complete privacy and left him alone completely. Today I took the towel away and almost immediately he struck again. We have not reached into the cage at all.

I've had some people tell me we should leave him alone and others tell me we should be handling him. I dont want to start out on the wrong foot with this guy. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
