Hi and welcome!! Congrats on your first BP.
If I were in your shoes this is what I would do...
1) Wrap three sides of the enclosure in cardboard, dark paper, or something similar. BPs, especially when young, rely heavily on hiding and feeling secure. The dark sides will block off anything that may seem like a threat to them. They basically live withy the mentality "eat and don't get eaten" because they are primitive creatures who don't know much else.
2) Feed as scheduled. Feed appropriate sized prey on whatever his scheduled feeding day is.
3) Leave him alone to get acclimated and comfortable. There's been a lot going on of him over the last few weeks. Although it's tempting to want to handle your new pet, it's best to give them some time. You will have this pet for 30 years if raised right, so plenty of time to handle your pet. Spot clean and change water as needed, but otherwise leave him alone. Once he is settled in (I like to wait until they've eaten 3 consecutive meals without a refusal) you can start handling every few days, but not on/after feeding days or during shed. Start with short handling sessions (10 minutes or so) and gradually increase frequency and time as you desire.
Good luck! We're here for any questions you may have.
Oh, and just some friendly advice...make your threads easier to read. One big, long sentence is tough to read. People will often skip over threads like that just because they're a pain to read.
Separating thoughts and sentences makes it easier to read and more people are likely to read and reply.
Oh, and also, the above advice about handling is good advice.
