It is likely he will settle down in a few more weeks and will "explore" until he is comfortable. I hope you did give him at least a week to settle in after bringing him home, because this usually calms them down and minimizes stress. My juvenile bp explored for about a month until he was truely settled in. Now he sits under his hide most of the time and when I take him out he just wraps around me and doesn't move much.
You may want to even cut down his handling to every other day and give him some time to get used to his new home. Handling to much can really stress them out. A good indication of whether or not he is stressed when you have him out is if he is breathing hard. You can tell this by observing his 'sides' on his upper body for a contaction/expansion repeatedly. The more intense it is, the more stressed he is. Hope this helps some, just my own experience.
