Striking position all the time?
Hey guys I recently bought my BP (actually yesterday). When I was in the store, dont worry it wasnt pet-smart, it was a local reptile store who gets his snakes from local breeders. When I was holding him in the store his body was in the striking position but if I faced him away he wouldnt turn his head to me so I knew he wasnt going to strike. Now he is in the enclosure, underneath his hut when I peak in he is always in the positon. He will stick his head out stare at me, then go back in. When hes coiled up, he also consumes the striking positon but his head is never in my direction. Should I be worried when I handle him? (not that bites hurt, I just dont wanna rip his teeth out or hurt him)

thanks all that replied, yeah I guess i'm just to ambitious into thinking he will be a "vicious" snake.
