Ive just recently (6 days ago) got a new Brongersmai as well! My local guy (didnt breed himself, but purchased from vpi to breed then decided not to, warned me that he (now about a year old) had not been handled much and was pretty feisty and would take a bit of work. When i bought him he was not happy at all to come out of his tub. I gave him a few days to settle in his new tub but had to pull him out to change his water (he dirtied it) so i began handling after 3 days. We keep it short and sweet for now, but over the last few days (he keeps dumping all his water so i hold him since ive got to disturb him anyway) he's gone from strike at me whenever i move to picking up without aide of a hook and just watching me curiously. I still dont trust him not to tag me if i move too quick but hes already doing better at taming up than i expected
