I've had snakes my whole life, corns, bloods, bloods, they've all been the main snakes I've kept and they've always been healthy and great snakes but I finally decided to purchase a bp on Sunday the 9th of July and today is the 13th and I figured last night he should be acclimated enough to eat so I left the same size frozen thawed rodent in the tank overnight and I woke up to find that it wasn't ate so I took it out and continued with my day, and I got home this evening and thought to try handling and this bp was the calmest and coolest snake I've ever owned, within seconds he was just wrapped around my fingers going hand to hand, and this went on for two minutes when I put him back and I thought to maybe try feeding now with tongs and this snake had an instant mood swing when it saw the dangling rodent, his breathing deepened a very noticeable amount and he curled up into a striking stance but never struck just watched my hands and not even the rodent and I thought maybe I'm stressing him out way too much and I left the rodent in the cooler side just in case he decides to eat,(he hasn't ate since the sixth the seller said) and I went to change water and the whole time I was changing water he struck at me at least five times. I'm not used to this behavior with any of my past animals and I was just wondering if anyone could help, thank you to anyone who takes time to notice, read, or respond to this
