that's so weird b/c I swear my normal loves it too! The other 2 you can almost tell tolerate it, the spider is not too keen on being held and the pastel is okay with it but would rather slither on the floor. My normal will climb all over you. She refuses to go back in her enclosure, you almost have to force her I don't know if they like it or not, but she seems too.
We handle ours at least every other day but don't 2 days before a feed and 2-3 days afterwards.

Its not that they hate it. Its just they aren't used to it. It isn't their comfort zone and it never will be. But, like mine and probably many others, it looks like you bp likes the warmth of your hand, and the way your hand is cuped around its body. Like a warm hide. But they will always prefer to not be handled, due to their nature. Remember these guys are wild animal.

Re: how many times do you handle your snake?
I try to handle all of my snakes at least every other day. I hate getting bit, and the more they get handled, the more they get used to being picked up. Well, most of them anyway. I do have 2 females that are half pit-bull if you ask me. I think they bite just for fun

Re: how many times do you handle your snake?
I handle my BP fairly often, nearly every day.
Pretty much anytime that I see him moving around his enclosure, or trying to find a way out I'll take him out for a while.
