Handling/getting used to me?

[Leah844]

So I’ve had my new BP for about 3 days now. He’s been settling in pretty good, he ate yesterday. Now I know to wait to handle him for about 2-3 weeks. But is there anyway to get him used to me before then? Not with handling. Should I put my hand in the tank for a few minutes? I have small tank maintenance things to do each day, (keep humidity up, fix the temperature position since he keeps knocking it over), but should I just let my hand sit in the tank at all? I tried this yesterday, and I wasn’t thinking, but I shouldn’t have, because he was hungry, and I think scared, so he did bite me. Lol it scared the crap out of me cuz he seemed curious at first, but then he just snapped my finger... I definitely don’t want that to happen again, it did hurt and he did draw some blood (he’s a strong little guy). Is there anyway for him to get used to me before I handle?
