yes, handle him. Mine was very feisty at first. In fact, she earned the name "meanie". When she was tiny i would just let her nip me but she eats like a pig and is growing fast so her btes can draw blood now. I went to gloves for handling, after a few sessions i would remove the gloves once she was calmed down a bit in my hands. It got to the point that i only had to put them on to pull her out of her viv. Now, the last time i did it glove free. She hasnt struck at me once for at least two months and hasnt struck once out of her viv for much longer than that. She is a year old and i have had her since the end of april. So it didnt take much time at all to calm her down. My 9 year old daughter is even comfortable with her now. Its pretty easy to tame them down, at least in my experience. Just have to put in the effort.

Your snake is a good looking little guy. I hope he calms down quickly for you, they are fun to handle. Good luck.
