a little bit angry

Hi, when i first went to touch my bredli in the petshop last week, he bit my hard. The man at the petshop said he had only been fed a couple of days earlier.
Yesterday morning, i went to bring him out of his enclosure, and he went to bite me again. Infact, he tried several times. I washed my hands to remove any scent first but this didnt work.
So yesterday afternoon, i fed him 2 mice. It was 8 days since his last feed. (he is a yearling). In the middle of that 8 day period, we had him out a few times and he was fine.
Do they get a lot more snappy when they are hungry, or is it an aggression thing?
Also, now that he has just been fed yesterday afternoon, how long should i wait before removing him from his enclosure again? I want to get him use to being handled, but i need a better understanding of when is the best time to handle him.
Also, is there are certain time of day/night that would suit him better?
Thanks in advance.
