I have a 1.5 yr old male bp. He's awesome and is super easy to handle. I have no problems handling him and even my 2 boys, at 3.5 and 1.5, are able to handle him easily with supervision. My question is about my husband. Hes nervous about handling him. Anyone have any good tips to help him get comfortable handling the snake? I've tried everything I can think of, he even watched me clean the tank out today while the snake just sat around my neck. He'll hold the snake for a couple minutes if I take him out and set him on my husbands hand and forearm but he just stands there like a statue. The snake was my husbands idea and I'd love for him to get comfortable enough to actually handle and enjoy him, instead of being a perch.
