Is my BP going to bite?

[ThnksFrThMmrs]

I have some that strike. Here is what I do and I have never been bit. I use a hook. I open their enclosure and expose them by removing the hide. Then if they hiss I leave them alone. If not I rub them with the hook and if they dont seem too upset I quickly pick them up. A BP is very unlikely to bite you while you are holding it. They will hiss if they are about to bite or they strike and warn you. My giant sized ones that look very scary are actually the more docile ones and now that I am comfortable with them I know they are very unlikely to bite and would warn me well in advance. I also leave them alone for 1-2 days after eating, while in shed, and if I handled them recently.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep this on mind and try it next time I handle him.
