Hatchlings are a bit nippy. He might be that way until he gets older. I have a female pastel that was very mean when she was a hatchling. She would strike at the tub when i walked by. U might want to cover the cage with a towel just so he wont get startled when u walk by. Eventually he nippiness will go away as he gets older. When u have to grab him the best way i found out to not get bit is put a hand in front of him far enough for him to not reach u when he strikes. And with the other hand grab him from behind. Try not to pass your hand infront of him or he will strike at it even if you are holding him
