I'm curious how the more experienced owners 'tame' their BPs? If there are people who do animal shows with their snakes or let small children manhandle their BPs (not abuse, you know what I mean)... your input is most appreciated.
How often do you handle them as juveniles? For how long at a time?
Do you slowly transition them to different areas of your house or outside or just fling them into the situation and make them cope with the stress so it won't be stressful next time?
Do you let them explore rooms and spaces outside of your hands or mostly keep them on your persons?
Do you pass them off to as many people as possible to be handled?
How 'rough' are you with them?
Basically I'm wondering if anyone has any tips about molding the temperament of a ball python to be totally safe for small children, loud people, or those who are scared of snakes to handle them (under supervision, ofc). The kind of snake you could pull out if its hide and plop on a newbie's lap and have no fear of it stressing to hell, being flighty and booking it, and/or biting them.
Thanks
