Fuzzy's acting weird

[Albert Clark]

So we've had Fuzzy for a little over a month. S/he has ate regularly, never missed a feeding. Last feeding was Monday. Wednesday my husband went to pick Fuzzy up and Fuzzy struck at him. This is the first time this happened. Damion just said Fuzzy is still acting weird. S/he doesn't want out of the tank when usually Fuzzy doesn't mind being out and held.

The humidity and temperature haven't changed. Nothing new honestly. Could s/he be getting ready to shed possibly? Fuzzy hasn't shed since we've had him/her.

Thanks in advance.

How old is fuzzy? Striking out is more a hatchling and juvenile bp action. Pre shed is also a time of greater possibility due to the irritability and decreased vision certainly deep in a shed avoid handling. Where did you get s/he from and how well would you say h/she was cared for? H/she should be established and comfortable in the enclosure as evidenced by not missing a feeding since you've had h/her. I would chalk it up to still acclimating and digesting the last meal. If h/she is in the hide don't take h/her out or hold her until h/she is completely out of the hide. Remember these animals are captives with wild instincts and they do have fears also. Maybe h/she was awakened and thought h/she was under attack? The bp has a lot of predators that attack them from above. Next time wear gloves and make sure h/she is aroused prior and or outside the hide. Move slowly and try not to startle h/her. Don't handle h/her for about 5 more days. Stay in peace and not pieces.
