How do i get my BP to not be afraid of me?

Today i moved Mitch into a 20g tank. But while i was doing so i took him out of his 30-40g and was holding him. He is very afraid of movements (when i reach down to grab him) and he jerks backwards. When i put him on my desk he wrapped himself around my speakers and wouldent let go! How do i fix it?

There's really no way of "fixing" it. Sometimes (quite often) they will simply grow out of it the older they get and become less fearful. However, sometimes it is just their personality and remain very skittish.

Just keep working with him, but don't overdo it to the point where he gets stressed. Handle him a few times a week for just a few minutes at a time. :)

I don't know how big the BP is, but tank security might have something to do with it. Or like xdeus said, he could just be a skittish snake. Mine will typically be skittish in the tub, continue to be skittish for a min after taking them out, then they start to stretch out and explore.

cool. i hope he gets used to being handled. thanks guys.

Handling him regularly without over doing it.
Some never mellow out, but most do with consistent handling at appropriate times.

Cover 3 sides of the tank, have 2 good hides and maybe some vines and branches to hide under.
Belly heat ;)
Making his/her home secure for them will go a long ways towards calming your snake.

Where a rat costume :D

Handling,handling,gentley handling your snake. but sometimes you have a snake that is a bit more shy .
