Idk. If I take my BPs out of their tanks, they immediately unball and start exploring. If I let someone new handle them, they stay balled up until the person has remained still for a long time and hasn't done anything scary. If that person handles them again, they seem to recognize their scent and will unball much faster than they will with a stranger. If the person has done something to scare them in the past, they'll never come unballed for that person.
Is that not trust? Or something like it, whatever word you like, lol.
ETA: oh, I should add, I don't think flooding will work on a BP. Reptiles have fairly primitive brains and if you flood them they'll probably just shut down, go into survival mode. And they won't eat in survival mode.
Whether it works or is necessary in other species I won't comment.
