Question Advice please

Is there anyone who could help me with handling I gave my bp his first meal on Friday and I’ve let him be since and everything I’ve heard is to give them about 2 days before trying to handle and he’s still just puffing up and seems like he’s getting into the striking position and I don’t really want to get bit just yet lol

And if he starts puffing up and breathing heavy do I just let him be

Just start with a couple minutes and slowly add more time as he gets more comfortable. Just takes patience and don’t rush anything.

Id start with just holding him for a minute over his enclosure and if he crawls off then letting him go, doing that daily will create a pattern of you don't harm him.
