Most of my BP experience has been with older/unwanted BPs given to me. Recently I adopted two young BPs. I know they're still adjusting to their new home due to them only being here not even a week yet(itll be a week Wednesday). One defensively struck when I moved him from the bag he was shipped in to his enclosure. I definitely dont blame him after being all the transport being shipped into a foreign place. But he's still striking defensively, even if it's just checking in on them or to move him to clean the enclosure. The second one just balls up, so far hasnt tried to strike me at all. Any tips to get him used to people? I understand they're still adjusting to their new home and still trying to give him space besides cleaning, fresh water and feeding.
Here's a pic of the guy that likes to strike defensively. This was after he calmed down moving him back to a freshly cleaned enclosure.
