my bredli was horribly snappy as a baby,...whenever i'd approach his tank he'd attack the glass he was so keen to kill me, so i started taking him out and handling him for a few mins, then putting him back, as soon as he was back he'd turn around and have another go @ me, so i'd pull him out again, he got over it pretty quickly and became the nicest boy around.
be calm and gentle, little bredlis barely break teh skin.
