some gliders just like to nip. if he isnt trying to break the skin then he is probably just showing affection. maybe try wearing a jacket (just dont use gloves) it will give you some protection without hiding your scent from them. i always wear a coat since i get cold easily so i dont do this to protect me from the boys nails but it helps lol. when i get the boys out or they want to jump off my hand i let my sleeve hide my hand a bit.
or make a psst sound at him when he nips you to tell him that hurts. my boys will bite the back of my head when they are grooming me. it hurts but i know they arent doing it to be mean.
