If you just got him leave him alone for 3 weeks and/or 3+ meals. Then buy leather gloves (to help with confidence, bp bite isn’t bad) and work with him. In a few weeks he’ll get used to you and stop striking.

Ok,I was guessing, but with careful observations I can tell that the cage is 2/3 size of python wife and length is slightly larger .

Today he escaped and I found him. When I put him back he didn't go in his hide and he is just outside his hide slithering around. Should I be worried and what does this mean?

Should I handle him and if so I'm a bit scared of him biting me.
